Nested <iw_ifcase

Strider

Gidday All,

Am having trouble accessing elements of nested or container.

Code is attached see below.

Basically this is our flexible format template. On a page one can have any number of headings, paragraphs, drop down lists, bulleted lists columns and tables. This works fine.

Now the problem occurs when one chooses columns. I would like to make available any number of headings paragraphs, drop down lists, bulleted lists within a column of data.

When I build a dcr to test this with for example two columns chosen a heading and paragraph in each. Only the heading element appears on the preview page. The paragraph text is not returned. If from the dcr you remove the headings from each column leaving the paragraphs then the paragraph text appears in the output proving that I have access to the paragraph text.

Is what Im trying to do possible?

Any help appreciated

Thank You
Colin

well, if you are asking whether it's possible then I say yes. I implemented it in a few accounts already - e,g, a structure with up to 3 columns with headings.

Good, Im glad its possible but I can't get it to work any chance you could have a look the code?

It makes it alot easier if you could attach your scripts rather than print it in your post.

They are more readable in an editor when looking at longer scripts and you may get more people looking at your code that way.

Thanks John, code is attached. I've been pulling my hair out over this one and would like to get it sorted so I can move on.
