I have learned how to display variables in template toolkit with <% varname %>. However, these variables are being named from withing my dancer app and displayed on the template. Is there a way to display variables that a user is entering as they are entering it.
Not as part of TT - that all happens server side.
So that if I have a menu like form where a user can pick several items and see them each added one by one in a list format before pressing a second submit button that submits his entire lists of entries? It would be a bit like a shopping cart but instead of the items being put in the cart they are displayed right there in the form as they are added.
In which case you have 2 options: 1. Process it client-side with javascript (not recommended) 2. Make each "addition" a new request, and store server-side You could also do a combination with AJAX-type calls, which is probably the best "modern" way of doing it, although it will be more complicated than option 2.
