Glad you made it here. Hello.

Your plugin works without any “containers” you say.
But isn’t <div id="test1"... a “container” for your template and wouldn’t that expose the HTML markup within your template to your viewers?

Besides that you’ve build your plugin upon John Resig’s micro templating code which has flaws and shortcomings when it comes to code that spans over multiple lines and the correct escaping of quotes.

<div id="test1" class="users">
     <!for (var i=0;i<users.length;++i)
           {!>
<div onMouseOver="/*=users[i].color?'this.style.color=\''+users[i].color+'\';':''*/" id="user_<!=i!>" class='user'>Name:<a href="<!=users[i].name!>"><!=users[i].name!></a></div>
           <!}
     !>
<pre>'somthing'
else ...</pre>
</div>

<script>
var data1={users:[{name:'name1.1'},
                  {name:'name1.2', color:'yellow'}
                 ]
          };
$('#test1').drink(data1);
</script>

var container = $('<p>');
$('#tmpl').jqote(data_collection).appendTo(container);

you can now easily get the generated html by calling

container.html()

Since the parent elements html will not be included you can use whatever container tag you want. Of course this is a workaround but it works. It would be great to have some kind of parameter for the jqote function to tell if you want to have the result to be a jquery object or just the plain generated html…

Or have you done this already for jqote2?

Keep on rocking!

Hello, no jQote2 hasn’t been released, yet. Work just pretty much piles up right now and I won’t be able to release it until the end of the week. Please bear with me.

Sorry for the delay.

Does this mean the version 2 is released?

Glad you like it. I’ve never heard of HAML before but will have a look. BUT please don’t quote me on that :D

I’ll be soon releasing jQote2 – a major overhaul and complete rewrite of jQote’s internals. This won’t use any of Resig’s code anymore, insofar there then shouldn’t be any licensing issues.

jQote2’s license will be DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO, as is.

@Phil Oye

With the upcoming release there’ll now be a git repository at Github.
Regarding the versioning issue: I never thought that jQote would make a wave and therefore didn’t put much time into it – until recently. jQote2 will have proper versioning (though I’m not a big fan of the “jquery.jqote-x.x.x.js” naming convention).

But at the very least, can you add a version number to the releases? It sounds like you are making changes to it, but there’s no way to tell.

Cheers,
p.

From the license:

1) ‘Version 2, December 2004′ – is this the date of the original John Resig script?

2) ‘Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long as the name is changed.’ – is this a bad translation or should I be I be replacing the name – Sam Hocevar, with another? John Resig perhaps?

Also are their any plans to support double quotes in expressions and statements?
