You can do: and the Publisher will add the selected method to the end of the path. Make your form action be &dtml-URL1; or "./" There's a default_method type too, I think you *might* see it in action on the "Rename" form in the Zope management screens. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

My solution for this kind of problem is to have a DTML method that delegates to the appropriate DTML methods. Therefore each button gets a value and a name, eg. The DTML method delegating the calls looks like this: The except part catches the cases where an error occurs such like action is not determined. Beware of the fact that you might want to pass further parameters in order to determine the selected item or so. HTH Andreas Francotyp-Postalia AG & Co. Dipl. Inform.
