Hi,

I'am with some trouble working with the views in CodeIgniter...

I have done a "main template view" that is the HTML that is the same in every page, and then I have "sub-views" that show on the "main template view".

The main problem that I have right now with this is the JavaScript, the <head> TAG is on the "main template view" and must to put all JavaScript code in there... the problem is that some "sub-views" generate JavaScript... and that is the problem...

My question:

How do you deal with Templates and JavaScript?

Where can I read about Template techniques to use in CodeIgniter?

Best Regards

My very basic javascript helper (actually part of a generic helper I typically use). Modify it at will.

Code:
function add_js($path = FALSE)

{

  static $js;

  if ($path)

  {

    $js .= '&lt; script type="text/javascript" src="'. $path .'"&gt;&lt;/ script >';

  }

  else {

    return $js;

  }

}

function get_js()

{

  return add_js();

}

In your template view

Code:
&lt;head&gt;

&lt;?php print get_js() ?&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

I use a _interface() method in my controllers, like this:

Code:
function _interface($subview, $data = false) {

    if($data && is_array($data)) {

        $pass = $data;

        // to pass non-standard variables to my template

    }

    // pass the standard variabls to my template

    $pass['subview'] = $subview;

    $pass['my_other_standard_vars'] = '';

    $pass['...'] = '';

    // et cetera

    $this->load->view('global/interface', $pass);

}

... And in the interface.php view:

Code:
&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;My fantastic design&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    &lt;?php $this->load->view($subview); ?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
