[Templates] Appending HTML to a var ............

[Anthony Gardner]

It just so happens, while cycling home in the wind and the rain, that I realised I was approaching it from the wrong direction. I should just be putting the data I need in one of two lists and once that's all done, I can just loop through those lists and filling in the HTML.

But, it it possible to add/append raw html code to a var of some type for later use or is my method above The Way to do it?

That pseudo code looks mostly fine. (Although there are no ending quotes after the  or semi-colons.) Give us some real code and we can probably help you out here. Or implement your psuedo code and post it if you still can't get that to work.
