Hello,

I'm trying to use html/template correctly and it seems there is some logic
I haven't quite understood:

error html/template:index:9: on range loop re-entry: {{range}} branches end
in different contexts: {stateJS delimNone urlPartNone jsCtxRegexp attrNone
elementScript <nil>}, {stateJSRegexp delimNone urlPartNone jsCtxRegexp
attrNone elementScript <nil>}

My template fragment looks like this:

{{range .expiries}}
<option>{{.Name }}</option>
{{end }}

Removing the <option>, </option> element from the inner loop fixes the
issue. My understanding was that I could use that kind of feature (ie
nested html in a range construct).

Help ?!
Thanks for your time

    Can you show a bit more of your template around that {{range}}?

    After looking very closely to my template (and one good night after), I
    found out that the original template was:

    <script>
    <form class='form-inline' id='gluu_form' method='POST' action='/'>
             <button class='button btn btn-primary' type='submit' />
             <i class='icon-file icon-white'>Gluu</i>

             <span>Expiration <label class='checkbox'>
                     <input id='never_expire'> Never</input></label>
             <select id='expiry_delay' class='span3' name='expiry_delay'>
                     {{range .expiries}}
           <option {{.Attributes}} >{{.Name }}</option>
                     {{end }}
             </select>

    </form>
    </script>


    Can you spot (as now I do) the extra script element surrounding the whole
    template ? Now, I can, and once removed, the templates compiles and run
    beautifully. Mind you, the error message was not that explicit (the elementScript
    should have worried me though)...

    Thank you for having heard my babbling. Next time, I'll explain the issue
    to my rubber duck.

    Happy Go'ing

    Yeah.

    I'm not trying to justify the inscrutability of the error message, but
    that error message happens because it starts in JS as indicated by
    "{stateJS" and then sees

        <option>{{.Name }}</option>

    which could be a sequence of valid but nonsensical JS tokens as in the
    explicitly parenthesized

         ((1 < option) > "name") < /option>/

    and ends inside a regular expression as indicated by "{stateJSRegexp"
    because only one slash has been seen.

    We could recognize this particular error and mention that there might
    be a stray `<script>` or unclosed `onclick="...` earlier in the
    template.

    This is brilliant. I knew html/template uses context to safely escape
    strings in html, but I didn't know it went as far as parsing
    JavaScript. Thank you for your great work.
