Dantom's HtmlLib Problem

Is there any way of passing a variable to the HtmlLayout()?

I'm making a form that, on error, generates the same form again, but with Red text instead of white, on the places that have wrong input.

I've tried EVERYTHING, but I can't get it to pass a variable to HtmlLayout()

Could you just answer the question?

In order to do that you would need to seriously modify Dantom.htmllib in order to do what you want.

A better way of archieving the result you wish is to quit using Dantom.htmllib and just do it yourself, which is easier and produces neater and cleaner code in return.

    proc/showForm(mob/M,list/errors) //errors is a list of input types that have errors
        ASSERT(M)

    Topic(href,href_list[])
        if("myTestForm" in href_list) //submitted the form above
            var/list/errors
            if(href_list["name"])
                if(href_list["gender"]=="male"||href_list["gender"]=="female")
                    alert(usr,"You have stated that you name is [href_list["name"]] and your gender to be [href_list["gender"]].")
                else
                    if(!errors) errors=new
                    errors+="gender"
            else
                if(!errors) errors=new
                errors+="name"
                if(href_list["gender"]!="male"&&href_list["gender"]!="female") errors+="gender"
            if(errors) showForm(usr,errors)


Something like that, perhaps?

Thanks for the help, guess i'll just make my own sort of htmllib..

(Would be convenient, game's gonna be 80% Html-popup/input based)
