Defining a Unique Namespace Token Using Adaptive Tags
It is an established best practice to include the pagelet/portlet
ID in the name of any Javascript functions and HTML elements to ensure
unique names when the code is combined with markup from other pagelets
on an aggregated page.
The
pt:common.namespace tag allows you
to define your own token, which is replaced with the pagelet/portlet
ID. The token must follow these specifications:
- Valid values for the token must be in the ASCII range 0x21 to
0x7E, excluding "<" (0x3C).
- The scope of the token runs from the tag defining it to the end
of the file; you cannot use a token prior to defining it.
- A second pt:namespace tag with a different token redefines it;
two tokens cannot be defined at the same time.
Note: In ALI 6.1 and earlier, this tag is implemented as pt:namespace.
<pt:common.namespace pt:token="$$TOKEN$$" xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>
<a onclick="doStuff$$TOKEN$$();" href="#">do stuff</a>
<script>
function doStuff$$TOKEN$$() {
alert("hello");
}
</script>
