Hi Atilla, Thank you very much for the reply. I'm afraid that I am trying it but must have something wrong with my syntax.
This is how I display raw data. <% FOREACH ID IN MyHash.keys %> <% MyHash.$ID.NAME %> <% END %> But when I do: <select> [% FOREACH ID IN MyHash.Keys %] <option value="[% ID %]" >[% ID %]</option> [% END %] </select> It does not seem to work. Only '% ID %' appears. 2015-08-21 11:02 GMT-05:00 Attila Bárdi <[email protected]>: > Hey, > > in your view: > > <select …> > [% FOREACH ent IN YourHash.keys %] > <option value="[% ent %]" >[% ent %]</option> > [% END %] > </select> > > Dancer + Template Toolkit are pretty easy to use, simple and effective:) > > On 21 Aug 2015, at 17:41, Richard Reina <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi David, > > I was able to get this code to work so thank you very much as it was very > helpful.
