Spry:content

Question

Hi there,
I want to call a javascript function with spry:content. But
using it e.g. in form of a
<div
spry:content="myjsfunction({ds1::somevalue});">default
text</div>
shows actually just the string 'myjsfunction...' instead of
calling the real function behind it and receiving some return
value. Is that actually possible with spry:content? (I want to use
these feature during the loading of rows within a spry:repeat)
Thanks for your help!

Hi fsnhk,
It isn't possible to call a function from the spry:content
attribute. But before you give up, let me ask, is this function
something that has to be called *every time* the region is
regenerated? What I'm getting at here, is that it is possible to
add custom columns to your data set after it is loaded ... you can
actually call your functions at that time and stuff the results
into a custom column, and access that custom column name from your
spry:content attribute.
Check out this sample to see how to add custom columns:
