[Zope] REQUEST.form.set ???

2000-08-29 Thread Brian Withun 


Is it possible for DTML to create or modify a form value?

I understand that REQUEST.form is a dictionary, but I cannot
seem to add dictionary elements.

I've tried

dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form['test']='value'"
dtml-call expr='REQUEST.form["test"]="value"'
dtml-call expr="REQUEST.form.set('test','value')"

but none of them work.

What am I doing wrong here?

maybe this will help:

dtml-call "REQUEST.set('lname',REQUEST.form['Last_Name'])"

It is possible to extend any dictionary, especially
"REQUEST.form". You use the dictionary "update" method
as in

dtml-call "REQUEST.form.update({'a':1, 'b':2})"

It will, however, not work as you might expect.
This is because the DTML namespace *does not* look into "REQUEST.form"
but into the dictionary "REQUEST.other".
During "REQUEST" construction, the "other" dictionary is updated
with the "form" dictionary. Therefore, you see form variables, too,
in the DTML namespace. However, later updates to "REQUEST.form"
are not automatically propagated to "REQUEST.other" (and
therefore not seen via the DTML namespace).

You can use
dtml-call "REQUEST.other.update({'a':1, 'b':2})"

or (as someone else suggested) "REQUEST.set".
