[Templates] Comparing foo.first

[Bill Moseley]

Must be time to quit for the day as this doesn't make sense, and I'm
sure it's very obvious.


I have template code that generates <th> elements based on a passed
in array.  I set class tag on the <th> to indicate if it's a first,
middle or last column.

So, something like:

    FOR column = headers;

        col_pos = column == headers.first
            ? 'first'
            : column == headers.last
                ? 'last'
                : 'middle';

        "<th class='$col_pos'>";

        [...]

which has been working find.  A added a new page today and noticed
that the first column was <th class='middle'>.



So I added a little debugging:

    FOR column = headers;

        col_pos = column == headers.first
            ? 'first'
            : column == headers.last
                ? 'last'
                : 'middle';

    USE Dumper;
    Dumper.dump( [ column, headers.first ] ) | stderr;
    "value = $col_pos\n" | stderr;


And I get this:



$VAR1 = [
          [
            {
              'order' => 'webcastdate',
              'label' => 'Date'
            }
          ],
          [
            {
              'order' => 'webcastdate',
              'label' => 'Date'
            }
          ]
        ];
value = middle
$VAR1 = [
          [
            {
              'order' => 'finaltitle',
              'label' => 'Title'
            }
          ],
          [
            {
              'order' => 'webcastdate',
              'label' => 'Date'
            }
          ]
        ];
value = middle


Hum.  Shouldn't headers.first be equal to one of the (the first) elements in the loop?

Here's the output I get when displaying a different table in the
application.

This time the first one matches:

$VAR1 = [
          [
            {
              'order' => 'name',
              'label' => 'Upcoming Events'
            }
          ],
          $VAR1->[0]
        ];
value = first
$VAR1 = [
          [
            {
              'label' => 'Class Fee'
            }
          ],
          [
            {
              'order' => 'name',
              'label' => 'Upcoming Events'
            }
          ]
        ];
value = middle
$VAR1 = [
          [
            {
              'label' => 'Note'
            }
          ],
          [
            {
              'order' => 'name',
              'label' => 'Upcoming Events'
            }
          ]
        ];
value = last
