Assigning free marker list to a Javascript Array

Question

Is it possible to assign a freemarker list to a Javascript Array? Does any other technique exist to achieve the same?

Suppose I have the following code

<#list messages.thread.messages.topic as message>
<div id="subject">${posts.subject}</div>
<div id="teaser">${posts.teaser}</div>
<div id="body">${message.body}</div>
</#list>

function script(){
   //I want to access the free marker list message here
}

You'll need to show what's the generated HTML. Also, are you using any library or just plain JavaScript? — deviousdodo

Thanks! For me, the following worked as it was a long data type. var arr = [<#list dataIds as dId>${dId?c},</#list>];

Yes it is possible. You need to arrange that your Freemarker template generates a Javascript array literal and assigns it to the appropriate Javascript variable. Start with the syntax of a Javascript array literal and then figure out how to generate one using Freemarker constructs.

@rozar - yea. Stuff like that happens. People assume that since they don't understand the question that it must be a poor question. Don't worry about it.
