Question

Hello I will start by presenting my code.

@defining("addPostForm"){formId =>
@main("Add a blog post.") {
    <h1>Add a blog post</h1>

    @errors

    @form(routes.Application.addPost, 'id -> "@formId") {
        @inputText(name = "content", required = true)
        <input type="submit" value="Create">
    }

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $("#@formId").validator();
    </script> 
}
}

Why is it that the @fromId in the @form won’t be evaluated by play? This is a snippet of the generated html page.

<form action="/addPost" method="POST" id="@formId">

But later in the page it is working fine as this is generated.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $("#addPostForm").validator();
</script>

I think it does not work because you already in a Scala code section, try this :

    @form(routes.Application.addPost, 'id -> formId)

The later code is not included in a code section, so it works as expected.
