My goal is to provide links to the previous and next track on the track page. Seeing no tags for this, I thought to try Javascript. The simple code saved the current track in a variable. Then I attempted to iterate over all the tracks using <dax:track> and making a Javascript call inside each iteration. This appears to mess up the page context in some manner, for after attempting this valid HTML did not seem to work. Here's the Javascript:
And here's how it's invoked:Code:<script language="javascript"> <!-- var thisTrackNum; var prevTrackLink = ""; var nextTrackLink = ""; function saveTrackNum(trackNum) { thisTrackNum = trackNum; } function saveTrackLink(trackNum,trackLink) { if(thisTrackNum > 0 && trackNum == thisTrackNum - 1) prevTrackLink = trackLink; if(trackNum == (thisTrackNum + 1)) nextTrackLink = trackLink; } function printTrackLinks() { if (prevTrackLink.length > 0) document.write("P:" + prevTrackLink.toString() + "<br>"); if (nextTrackLink.length > 0) document.write("N:" + nextTrackLink.toString() + "<br>"); } --> </script>
When it reaches that <dax:lyrics> tag I get this message:Code:<script language="javascript"> <!-- saveTrackNum(<dax:tracknum/>); --> </script> <dax:track> <script language="javascript"> <!-- saveTrackLink(<dax:tracknum/>,"<dax:tracklink/>"); --> </script> </dax:track> <script language="javascript"> <!-- printTrackLinks(); --> </script> <!-- bottom table --> <!-- first row: lyrics and notes on left --> <table class="trackbottom"> <tr> <td class="left" id="lyrics"> <h3 class="topper">LYRICS <dax:if($allow_edit)> <span class="addedit"> <a href="#" onclick="window.external.edittrk(0,0,3); return false;"> <dax:if(lyrics||trackinstrumental)>(edit)<dax:else>(add)</dax:if> </a></span> </dax:if> </h3> <hr> <p><dax:lyrics/></p>
Unknown tag or section: 'lyrics' in C:\Program Files\OrangeCD\Templates\PaulB.dax at line 143, character 17.
<hr>
<p><dax:lyrics/></p>
</td>
Without the a <dax:track> construct the page loads fine, leading me to suspect that the <dax:track> construct doesn't work on a track page. But without it I see no way to obtain the previous and next track links, which is a feature I'd like in my template.
Any ideas?
