使用模板工具包检测javascript变量？

Question

is there a way I can set a variable/ do something (anything??) in javascript jquery, and detect it with template toolkit?

I want to use it as a way to change the content based on if the browser is running javascript.

My code would flow something like:

<scipt type="text/javascript">
variable_name = 1;
</script>

[% IF variable_name == 1 %]
do stuff here, js turned on
[% ELSE %]
//do stuff here, js turned off
[% END %]

when I say anything, I mean is there anything I can do in the JS that template toolkit can pick up? like show/hide a div with JS and detect it with template toolkit?

Answer 1

It would be unwise to even try to develop an application in that direction.

Since variable_name is a variable, as a programmer, you should expect it to vary, you should expect that it'll change. (And if you don't, use a constant.)

Since the Template Toolkit runs FIRST on the server, and the Javascript runs SECOND on the client, if that variable changes to 0 in the JS, you won't have the content available in the ELSE block of the TT code (which is probably what you're expecting).
