spry filter

[crushfor]

i am attempting to display a list of comments beneath an image, using 2 xml
datasets. what i would like to do is filter the comments dataset depending upon
the current image.
i have been using the spry filter() function and can successfully filter my
dataset if i use a number or a string as an argument. what i want to do is pass
in a dataset variable.

Alternetively, is there another method i should consider ?

eg for dataset dscomments, i want to filter by imageID from dsimages

this works fine...

var ffcomments = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
{
if (row["ImageID"] == 90)
return row;
return null;
}

dscomments.filter(ffcomments)

this fails

var ffcomments = function(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
{
if (row["ImageID"] == {dsimages::imageID})
return row;
return null;
}

dscomments.filter(ffcomments)

The Spry tokens are not replaced, and as such, the token you're using has no direct value. You'd need to access the dsimages JavaScript object to access the imageID value. Sorry I've not worked much with the datasets so I don't know specific syntax to get that value out, but you should ask Spry questions in the Spry forum:
