ics:setvar

Sets the value of a variable.

Syntax

<ics:setvar 
      name="variable name" 
      value="variable value"/>

Parameters

name (required)

Name of the variable to set.

value (required)

Value to which to set the variable.

Description

The ics:setvar tag sets the value of a variable. The value of the variable exists for the duration of the page evaluation unless it is explicitly deleted using ics:removevar. For more information about variables, see the Sites Developer's Guide.

Error Numbers

There are no possible errno for this tag.

Example

The following example sets the variable "color" to "red".

<ics:setvar name="color" value="red"/>

The next example assumes that the variable "color" has been set to "red" and appends "and blue".

<ics:setvar name="color" value="blue"/>

The browser displays:

red and blue

If a variable was set by loading a file or URL and the content contains Variables.varname syntax, then the variable values can be resolved by:

<ics:setvar name="myvar" value="myvar"/>

Any variables as part of the value of myvar are resolved before the value is reset.
