for populating <select>'s i use this sub:
sub selectify {
my $values = shift;
my $labels = shift;
my $selected = shift;
my %selected = map {$_ => 1} @{$selected};
return [map {
{
value => $_,
label => shift @{$labels},
selected => $selected{$_} || "",
}
} @{$values}];
}
you use it in a script like:
$template->param(foo_loop => selectify(\@values,\@labels,\@selected));
and a template file like:
<select name="foo">
<tmpl_loop name="foo_loop">
<option value="<tmpl_var name="value">"<tmpl_if name="selected"> sel
+ected="selected"></tmpl_if>>
<tmpl_var name="label">
</option>
</tmpl_loop>
</select>
i usually have the stuff inside the <tmpl_loop> factored out into its own file so i can just do a <tmpl_include> anytime i have a select list. ie, this is what i you actually see all through my templates:
<select name="foo">
<tmpl_loop name="foo_loop">
<tmpl_include name="option.tmpl">
</tmpl_loop>
</select>
update: fixed some unescaped entities.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
