why does my <option> tag throw an error.grammar.option

[ipath]

I have defined the <option> for a field as

Code: Select all

  <option dtmf="1" value="pwsCntRef1074777064629_2">Pick a contact</option> 
  <option dtmf="2" value="pwsCntRef1066377085583_2">Track Messages</option> 
  <option dtmf="3" value="pwsCntRef1067942510592_2">Unread Messages</option> 
  <option dtmf="4" value="pwsCntRef1069752628663_2">Emails</option> 
  <option dtmf="5" value="pwsCntRef1070449195414_2">Urgent</option> 
  <option dtmf="6" value="pwsCntRef1063996707468_2">Contacts</option> 
  <option dtmf="8" value="LeaveMsgForMobile">Leave Message For Mobile</option> 
  <option dtmf="0" value="help">zero</option> 
  <option dtmf="9" value="options">options</option> 
  <option value="help">help</option> 
  <option value="help">o</option> 
  <option value="bye">bye</option> 
  <option value="bye">exit</option> 
  <option value="bye">quit</option> 
  <option value="back">back</option> 
  <option value="home">home</option> 
  <option value="options">options</option> 
  <option value="bye">#</option> 
  

When I executed I got the "A serious error of type ". I have placed the log msg here.
Is the
(options) {options} |
generated twice is creating the problem? I validated the vxml with no errors.

Thanks.

This IVR error is being caused by your use of # as a dtmf option. When # (or *) are used in an <option> or a <choice> tag they must be escaped with quotes. Below is a simple IVR example of how to properly use a # in an option:

Code: Select all

<? xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <field name="field1">
      <option dtmf="1" value="pwsCntRef1074777064629_2">Pick a contact</option>
      <option dtmf="2" value="pwsCntRef1066377085583_2">Track Messages</option>
      <option dtmf="3" value="pwsCntRef1067942510592_2">Unread Messages</option>
      <option value="bye">"#"</option>
    </field>
  </form>
</vxml>

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.

Also,

Code: Select all

<option value="help">o</option> 

This above statement is also creating problem. I removed this statement from the application to make it work.

I think you have a typo in your IVR code...

it should be the number '0', not the letter 'o'

as such:

Code: Select all

<option value="help">0</option>

[ipath]

No, it is "o" only. Some people say "0" for zero. So, I included that option.

Thanks.

[ipath]

Sorry, some people say "oh" for zero.

I cant replicate the IVR error you are encountering. Try looking at the IVR example for <option> tag found in the vxml reference manual. I was able to modify it to support the functionality you described:

Hope this IVR source helps!

Hello iPath:

I have taken the liberty of modifying the IVR example in the url from the previous post. I think this does what you are talking about:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <field name="maincourse">
    <prompt>
      Please select an entree. Today, we're featuring:
      <enumerate/>
    </prompt>
    <option dtmf="1" value="fish"> swordfish </option>
    <option dtmf="2" value="beef"> roast beef </option>
    <option value="help"> o </option>
    <filled>
        You chose <value expr="maincourse"/>.
    </filled>
   </field>
</form>
</vxml>

in the above IVR example, saying "oh" will result in field being set to "help". I tested this on our IVR hosting environment and it seems to work fine.

Hope this helps!!

Sincerely,

Plum Support
