Jinja and javascript syntax conflict?
javascript, jinja2, syntax-error
Solution
Try this:
{{ '{% for (var i=0, file; file=o.files[i]; i++) { %}' }}
Or you can use {% raw %} {% endraw %} blocks.

Problem
I am using jinja2 templating language in my GAE-python project. I have tried to use the jquery-upload for uploading files. The following code is throwing an error: ``` <!-- The template to display files available for upload -->¬ 152 <script id="template-upload" type="text/x-tmpl">¬ -- 153 {% for (var i=0, file; file=o.files[i]; i++) { %}¬ | 154 <tr class="template-upload fade">¬ | 155 <td class="preview"><span class="fade"></span></td>¬ |- 156 <td class="name"><span>{%=file.name%}</span></td>¬ ``` The above code is directly taken from the jquery upload library. The error: ``` line 153, in template {% for (var i=0, file; file=o.files[i]; i++) { %} TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ')', got 'i' ``` I think it is being caused due to the `{% %}` which is used by jinja2 as well as the text/x-tmpl js syntax. Is this correct? If so, How can I work around it? Please help.
