Problem with a piece of javascript code in tpl

rish

I am stuck with a problem here :

I need to output some piece of html code on preview based on the value of a javascript variable. this piece of html code is itself generated in turn by a child tpl which is included based on some condition from the dcr. The sample code is pasted below, and following that is the problem.


I am using iw_ostream to output the generated html in a single line so that document.write works fine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The code in tpl:
if(isLoggedIn==false)
{
// User Is not logged in, check if regular login is required then display the relevent module

document.write("<iw_ostream filter='s/[\r|\n]//g'> <iw_if expr=' {iw_value name="serRawDetDcr.serviceRawDetail.loginOptions"/} eq "Regular Login Required"'>
<iw_then>
<iw_include pt="templatedata/commonModules/presentation/modules/related_07_loginbasic.tpl" ><![CDATA[
$iw_param{serviceName} = iwpt_dcr_value('serRawDetDcr.serviceRawDetail.serviceName');
$iw_param{loggedInCopy} = iwpt_dcr_value('serRawDetDcr.serviceRawDetail.loggedInCopy');
$iw_param{linkLabel} = iwpt_dcr_value('serRawDetDcr.serviceRawDetail.loggedInURL.linkLabel');
$iw_param{linkURL} = iwpt_dcr_value('serRawDetDcr.serviceRawDetail.loggedInURL.linkURL');
]]>
</iw_include>
</iw_then>
</iw_if></iw_ostream>");

else
{ .....


Results in to:

if(isLoggedIn==false)
{
// User Is not logged in, check if regular login is required then display the relevent module

document.write(' <div class="moduleSpacer silverBG mod1Wid"><div class="p10a"> <div class="m10b black12BCText">Service -1243</div> <div class="m15b">sdvcvxvc</div>

<form name="loginForm" action="" method="POST" onSubmit="validatePwd('http://nextelonline.nextel.com/wps/portal/Registration/','1','/login.fcc'); return false;">

<input name="TARGET" value="cvxcvxvc" type="hidden"> <div>Member Name:</div> <input type="text" name="uname" style="width:148px; margin:5px 0 10px 0;"> <div>Password:</div> ');

}
else
{ .....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

****-----**** onSubmit="validatePwd('http://nextelonline.nextel.com/wps/portal/Registration/','1','/login.fcc'); ****-----****

We are opening and closing the document.write() with single quotes. The form tag is the only part of the HTML code that writes single quotes. This is posing a problem you see. It takes the single quote of the argument to validatePwd as the terminating single quote of document.write . Can any one suggest someworkaround

I think this problem is a very straight-forward one to fix, but I'm scratching my head in trying to make sense of where your form tag is coming from. Attaching a larger part of your TPL would help.

At first glance, I'd recommend either double-escaping one of the sets of single quotes or, if possible, using a different delimiter. This is a naive conclusion though -- I'd realy need to see more of your TPL and how your form tag is generated.

As far as the output is concerned, it looks as though the only problem with your form tag is the empty "action" attribute. Is this correct or are there more problems that I'm not seeing right now?
