[Zope] adding value to the path
When I submit this:
input name=branch/manage_editProperties:method type=submit
class=form-element value=Save Changes /
It works very nicely.
I'd like the user to choose the page to amend so I have a select option to
choose the page (in this case the one named 'branch'
select size=3 width=100 name=pageName
dtml-in getParentNode().objectItems('DTML Document')
dtml-if id() != 'index_html'
dtml-if id() != 'editProperties'
option value=dtml-var id dtml-var title_or_id/option
/dtml-if
/dtml-if
/dtml-in
/select
And I think this ought to work.. but it doesn't...
input name=document.propForm.pageName.value+/manage_editProperties:method
type=submit class=form-element value=Save Changes /
It does absolutely nothing.
How do I pass it the value to the input name?

You create a separate html input tag that gets the information you require
from the user, eg
Enter Id: input type=text name=id:UTF-8:string size=30 value=/
If you already have some information that you want to pass along to the
receiving method (ie. this information does not come from user input) then
use a hidden input:
input type=text name=id:UTF-8:string size=30 value=dtml-var
someIdvar/
P.S. i just couldn't let this go:
dtml-if id() != 'index_html'
dtml-if id() != 'editProperties'
option value=dtml-var id dtml-var title_or_id/option
/dtml-if
/dtml-if
is simpler as:
dtml-if id() != 'editProperties' and id() !=index_html
option value=dtml-var id dtml-var title_or_id/option
/dtml-if

RE: [Zope] adding value to the path
Thanks for the clean-up - I was trying and not getting anywhere.
That said, using the text field as an input method and then passing it on
doesn't work either.
input name=id+/manage_editProperties:method type=submit
class=form-element value=Save Changes /
If it helps - I'd like the user to be able to modify the properties of a
DTML Document that they choose from a single edit form. I'm fine if I
specify the path but I need them to add the page name to the path, hence the
addition before the /manage_editProperties:method
