Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out if this is possible. I’ve tried it out and all I get is a JavaScript error.

I would like to know if it’s possible to place EE tags inside a block of jQuery.

Basically I’m using “Switch” and “Case” and setting variable values based on a channel entry with a Matrix field. I’m pretty sure the issue is with the Matrix loop tags wrapping my Case because my “Default: item_price =” code is working perfectly.

Here’s my code for reference:

{exp:channel:entries channel="store_pricing_shipping" entry_id="174"}

        jQuery(document).ready(function($){
            $('#size_option, #frame_option').change(function() {
                var option = $('#size_option').val() +" "+ $('#frame_option').val(), item_price;

                // set span
                switch (option) {
// BEGIN EE TAGS
                    '{my_matrix_field}'
                    case "{optionA} {optionB}":
                        item_price = "{item_price}";
                        shipping_price = "{shipping_cost}";
                    break;
                    '{/my_matrix_field}'

                    default:
                        item_price = "{my_matrix_field limit='1'}{item_price}{/my_matrix_field}";
// END EE TAGS
                }


                // More jQuery
            });
        });

{/exp:channel:entries}

Never mind, I got it to work.

Although I have no idea why or how it works… While fiddling with the code I randomly decided to just remove the Matrix tag pair entirely, and poof it works. I’m a little confused because I thought that the Matrix tag pair was required to access the fields within a Matrix field…

Oh well, it works, so I’m happy.

.. that’s the most important thing. 😉 If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
