Dear Bruno Great to hear that there are other ZOPE users among us.
When I work with ZOPE I code with dtml. I only found out about ZPT when I quiz ZOPE and never got familiar with it afterwords. The first thing they teach you when working with ZOPE is to combine segment of web pages with <dtml-var "aSegment.html">. With this I could prepare some page with other tags or javascript/css and it will all render normally. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't find any thing similar here and page inheritance is still new to me so I didn't consider it first. I want to create a application that uses minimal html files. At the present stage of development, coded everything into one html and save all the static data into the database. I want to know about re-rendering a django tag/javascript/css is because I want to allow my users to use a web interface to create their own contents and with custom tag that I created and save it back to the database. If everything work accordingly, the custom tag will activate and put javascript/googleMap api onto the page and display a google map. But sadly it didn't gone according to plan and the page only displayed the tag as if it was just text. So.. does anyone have any idea how I could solve this problem?
