    Increment CSS class?

    Hi all,

    I'm brand new to Umbraco, and from a PHP background.

    I'm trying to loop through some images, and increment a class on each li.

    <ul class="clearfix">
       @{int i = 0;}
       @foreach (var item in @Model.HomepageSlide)
       {
       <li id="content_@i">
           <div class="homepage-content-top clearfix">
           @item.homepageSliderCopy
           </div>
       </li>
       i++;
       }
     </ul>

    In short, I need content_@i to increment by 1 on each iteration. I can't get the syntax correct!

    Best thing is to join up your element ID variable like so:

    <ulclass="clearfix">
       @{
     int i = 0; 
     string elementId; 
     }
       @foreach (var item in @Model.HomepageSlide)
       {
     elementId = "content_" + i.ToString();
       <liid="@elementId">
               <divclass="homepage-content-top clearfix">
           @item.homepageSliderCopy
               </div>
           </li>
       i++;
       }
         </ul>

    @{
     int i = 0;
     string elementId = "content_" + i.ToString();
    }
    ...

      Hi Dominic,
      You are very close and just a gotchya for the Razor syntax really.

      Where you use content_@i the Razor engine doesn't know if this supposed to be HTML/text/email address so parses it as a string rather than switching back to the code parser. The way to fix this is to change it to <div id="content_@(i)"> Using brackets () after the @ tells the parser anything inside this needs to be parsed as code.

      <ul class="clearfix">
    @{int i = 0;}
    
    @foreach (var item in @Model.Children)
     {
      <li id="content_@(i)">
        <div class="homepage-content-top clearfix">
          @item.Name
        </div>
      </li>
    
      i ++;
    }
</ul>

      Yep or you can do as Barry suggested and build your string up in a var first and then use that in your HTML

      This is a good little guide to Razor syntax

      if Model.HomepageSlide returns a DynamicNodeList, you can do this:

      @foreach(var item in Model.HomePageSlide)
      {
      <li id="[email protected]">@item.Name</li>
      }

      If it doesn't, this is equiv to Warren's example but slightly shorter:

      @{
      var i = 0;
      foreach(var item in Model.HomePageSlide)
      {
      <li id="content_@(i++)">@item.Name</li>
      }

      The @(i++) returns i, and then increments it for the next loop pass.
