EJS - Scripts in wrong location - ejs

In the interest of DRY, I have 3 page types in my SPA: (1)Layout, (2)Index, and (3)XXXX (view).
Layout has the body related tags, Index the nav system, and XXXX the relative content. Here is the code:
Layout.ejs:
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>Index Page</title>
<% include ../includes/styles%>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" ></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<% include ../includes/scripts%>
</html>
Index.ejs:
<% include ../includes/layout %>
<h1>This is where the nav bar goes</h1>
<div data-ng-view></div>
View pages not important for this problem.
What I noticed is that my sccript tags from layout are above the body's children DOMs, not at all what I wanted.
What I wanted is:
----- body
--- content
----- scripts
What must I do in layout.ejs to keep the script tags at the bottom of the final html page?

ejs-locals does not support Express 4.x.
I opted for creating a custom engine.

Nested JS views

I have the following simple HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;charset=UTF-8'/>
<script src="resources/sap-ui-core.js"
id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
data-sap-ui-libs="sap.ui.commons, sap.ui.table, sap.ui.ux3"
data-sap-ui-theme= "sap_bluecrystal">
</script>
<script>
sap.ui.localResources("zvhr_dashboard");
var view = sap.ui.view({id:"idDashboard1", viewName:"zvhr_dashboard.Dashboard", type:sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.JS});
view.placeAt("content");
</script>
</head>
<body class="sapUiBody" role="application">
<header class="header">Page Header</header>
<div id="content" class="content">
<div id="totalHoursChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
<div id="totalCostChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
<div id="totalCountChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
</div>
</body>
The containers totalHoursChart, totalCostsChart, totalCountChart are for line charts. Whenever the template is rendered because of the lines
var view = sap.ui.view({
id:"idDashboard1",
viewName:"zvhr_dashboard.Dashboard",
type:sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.JS
});
view.placeAt("content");
There is only one div created in content div and line charts that I draw and place at respective chart containers get overridden. I am unable to figure out how to do this nested views.
I have been unable to find one simple example showing how to do this.
Create a separate div to place your view in:
<div id="content" class="content">
<div id="dashboardContainer"></div>
<div id="totalHoursChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
<div id="totalCostChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
<div id="totalCountChart" class="chartContainer"></div>
</div>
view.placeAt("dashboardContainer");
Well I was able to achieve what I needed and I guess it precisely does fulfill my requirement. I referred to this and understood that the whole page can have a layout and I can place multiple views inside that layout.
The link I provided is of VerticalLayout but there are lot many options to pick from. Using it I was able to place three views(line charts in my case one below the other). The only thing I didnt like was that I had to give fixed width in pixels for every view that I placed inside layout, because when I gave width in percentages the views started shrinking after the page rendering was done.
So to follow the suggestion of #Qualiture I did it in one single div.

how to render javascript source code in sapui5

I want to render some javascript snippet with sapui5. I am trying to use Text control but when I use that I cannt format javascript text to show up properly.Is there a way to do that?
You can use the HTML core control to embed html/javascript: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.core.HTML.html
Or create a custom control
All other SAPUI5 controls are protected against XSS and forgery attacks so they won't accept any javascript code.
I also suggest that you use sap.ui.core.HTML to embed HTML in your sapui5 view. However to get your code formatted correctly (for example it shall be indented correctly) you can use the markdown-js library. See this example:
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>Render javascript source code in sapui5</title>
<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
src="https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/resources/sap-ui-core.js"
data-sap-ui-theme="sap_bluecrystal"
data-sap-ui-libs="sap.ui.commons"></script>
<script src="markdown.js"></script>
<script>
$.get("markdown.md", function(data) {
var mdView = new sap.ui.core.HTML({
content: markdown.toHTML(data)
});
mdView.placeAt("uiArea");
}, "html");
</script>
</head>
<body class="sapUiBody">
<div id="uiArea"></div>
</body>
</html>
markdown.md:
# Markdown
To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab.
for (i=0; i < 10; i++) {
if (true) {
console.log("Hello World!");
}
}
If you want to test this example in you Chrome browser, do the following:
Download markdown-browser-*.tgz from markdown-js and place the contained markdown.js together with the above index.html and markdown.md in some folder.
Start Chrome with parameter --allow-file-access-from-files and drop the index.html on the Chrome browser window.

Laravel4: how to style an email

I an a newsletter app, i send a view as a template of mail.
Inside the view there a variable that hold the content taken from a form.
I try to apply different inline style to the view, but no one worked.
This is the view, now there is only one style (color:blue) to test css:
<html>
<body style="color:blue;">
{{ $content }}
</body>
</html>
How can i do to style this view, and send a mail with the proper css style?
Thank you
You can do styling like this,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p style="font-style:italic">
{{ $content }}
</p>
</body>
</html>
It works for me.

HTML Code Is Not Rendering Properly

I'm having problems with my HTML and jQuery Code. I was wondering if someone could tell me what's wrong with it. Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Main Page</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0-rc.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.0-rc.1.min.js"></script>
<!-- Stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0-rc.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.0-rc.1.min.css" />
<!-- Color Scheme -->

</head>
<body>
<div id="MainPage" style="background:#008b8b;color:#203471" data-role="page">
<div style="background:#008b8b;color:#203471" data-role="content">
<p style="background:#008b8b;color:#203471"><img alt="" src="Images/Header.png" style="width:100%" /></p>
<p style="background:#008b8b;color:#eee8cd">The content for the main page is here</p>
<a style="background:#eee8cd;color:#203471" href="AboutUs.htm" data-role="button">About Us</a>
<a style="background:#eee8cd;color:#203471" href="ContactUs.htm" data-role="button">Contact Us</a>
</div>
<div style="background:#203471;color:#eee8cd" data-role="footer">
<h4>Main Page Footer</h4>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
There are two problems that I am having problems figuring out:
1) When I put this code on my web server and navigate to it via my iPhone it is fine when the phone is held in the vertical position. When the phone is moved into the horizontal position though, the buttons seem to be displayed over the text and are not workable. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
2) I tried to create a custom stylesheet.css and link to it via the class attribute of the various tags. This would not work so I had to put the inline code (for example:)
<div style="background:#203471;color:#eee8cd"
Can someone show me how to create a stylesheet.css with these attributes and "tag" them in the HTML so that this works?
Thanks So Much.
Well, you've got a link to jQuery where your link to your CSS should go. Check out www.codecademy.com !
I've separated inline css to its own and seems to render fine.
Play with this fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/kVqWJ/
You can include css files in your html file many ways:
1)
<style type="text/css">
//your style here
</style>
2)
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css url here">
A quick googling will help. The Mozilla developer network is a great place to start.

Perl Dancer Template headers, footers

I'm learning Perl and using Dancer as a web framework.
I've got two views (tt files) which should share the same navigation.
So, it would be great to start learning how to manage templates for navigation and footers.
I've read the documentation for the Template Toolkit and I've done the following:
I've changed the config.yml file to:
#template: "simple"
template: "template_toolkit"
engines:
template_toolkit:
start_tag: '[%'
end_tag: '%]'
I've defined the templates in the .pm file:
package proyecto;
use Dancer ':syntax';
our $VERSION = '0.1';
get '/' => sub {
template 'index';
};
get '/menu' => sub {
template 'menu';
};
true;
There is a link in the index template directing the visitor to the menu template:
<li class="active">< a href="/menu">Menu <span class="sr-only"></span></a></li>
I would like to reuse the navigation code from index.tt into menu.tt, so I've wrapped the navigation code in index.tt with the following:
[% BLOCK navigation %]
#my nav code
[% END %]
To finally include that code in the menu.tt file, I've written the following (where the navigation code should be):
[% navigation = 'index.tt' %]
[% INCLUDE navigation %]
The files index.tt and menu.tt are located in the folder views. But it seems it's not that easy! =( Any suggestion on how to reuse code from one file to another which is located in the same directory?
This is what layouts are for. The idea is that content common to all pages (e.g. header, footer, navbar) goes in the layout and content specific to each page goes in templates called views. Views are called "partials" in other frameworks because they only contain the content for part of the page.
If you use the dancer command line utility to set up your application, the default layout is views/layouts/main.tt and looks something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=<% settings.charset %>" />
<title>Foo</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<% request.uri_base %>/css/style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<% content %>
<div id="footer">
Powered by Dancer <% dancer_version %>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The <% content %> section is replaced with the specified view when you call template 'view';. (In your case, you'll need to change <% and %> to [% and %] since you're using the Template Toolkit-style delimiters.)
For example, if views/index.tt is:
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
calling template 'index'; in a route renders the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Foo</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.example.com/css/style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<div id="footer">
Powered by Dancer 1.3202
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note that there's already a footer section; you just have to add elements for a header and navbar.
If this is new development, you should really be using Dancer2 instead of Dancer (fortunately, layouts and views are the same in both).
The [% INCLUDE %] directive's argument can be interpreted in one of two ways.
The name of another template file
The name of a block that is defined in the current template file (or in another template file which has included the current template file).
All of which means that your current plan won't work. menu.tt won't see any block defined inside index.tt.
There are a couple of better solutions though.
Firstly, consider moving the navigation code into a third, separate, template file. You can then INCLUDE this template into both index.tt and menu.tt.
Secondly, you can use Dancer's "layout" feature. This is a template that is wrapped around your view templates. Typically the layout template contains the navigation and all standard page furniture (like headers and footers). It also contains a [% content %] directive. When a view is rendered, the rendered version is dropped into the layout template in the location of the [% content %] directive. See the Layouts section in Dancer::Tutorial for more information.
p.s. I see you're using Dancer. I'd highly recommend switching to Dancer2.
