n00b question -- But I need help with strings in itemTpl. Thanks!

[amritsharma]

  itemTpl: '<img src="{photo}" width="55" />

I have a DataView list that I'm populating with a JSON file. I can't figure out how to pass the {photo} attribute into that "src" parameter in the <img> tag.

I know the model/store/json file are wired correctly, because this works properly.

<div class="test">{thing}</div>

Thanks all!

It looks correct. Aside from the fact that you forgot to closing ' at the end. You may want to add a height value and making sure the {photo} value contains the correct path.

Inspect the DOM to see what the <img> element looks like.

This is the resulting HTML code with the img tag I get.

<img src width="55">
<div class="test">Cheese</div>

My {photo} attribute in the .json file contains a valid URL of a .jpg file one.
The "Cheese" text above is a value that's derived from the same .json file with {thing}.

Is {photo} a reserved keyword in Sencha? Maybe renaming it would help? But, im just speculating.

Thanks Michael.

P.S. I've learned so much from your answers on these forums that I recently picked up the MEAP of your upcoming book from Manning.

Sorry, in my actual code the quote is closed. I just copied and pasted a fraction of my code here. I should have made sure it's closed here too.

But, im still struggling with it.

amritsharma, is the photo attribute defined as a field in your model?

Thanks!
