#assign directive

Hi there,

 

     Could someone please have a look at the following snippet?

 

     

     <#assign latestTopicsTabIndex = 402 />
     <#list latestTopics.message as message>

           ...

           ...

           ...     

           <a class ="messageSubject" href="${message.@view_href}" tabindex="$(latestTopicsTabIndex)"> ${message.subject}</a>

           <#assign latestTopicsTabIndex = latestTopicsTabIndex + 1 />
     </#list>

 

    I'd like to know what's wrong with my syntax, as I'm getting this when the page renders

 

     <a tabindex="$(latestTopicsTabIndex)" href="http://h30500.www3.hp.com/t5/general/General-Test/m-p/666#M1" class="messageSubject"> General Test $(latestTopicsTabIndex) </a>

 

      instead of

 

<a tabindex="402" href="http://h30500.www3.hp.com/t5/general/General-Test/m-p/666#M1" class="messageSubject"> General Test $(latestTopicsTabIndex) </a>

 

Thanks in advance,

Luis

    Looks like you may be using parentheses instead of curly brackets for that variable.

     

    Instead of this:

    $(latestTopicsTabIndex)

     Try this:

    ${latestTopicsTabIndex}
