Usually, between DTML1 (creating the form) and DTML2 (accessing the form content) is the WWW browser. I assume this familiar setup (tell me, in case I am wrong): you find the form content in the dictionary "REQUEST.form". Its content is automatically imported in the DTML namespace. Thus, you can simply access it like DTML variables (e.g. dtml-var x). If there are other variables with the same name, you could use something like: dtml-call "REQUEST['x']" or even dtml-call "REQUEST.form['x']" Also can I construct a string and then evaluate it? ie varname="therealvar" + "name" some sort of eval varname You have restricted evaluation capabilities: dtml-var "expression" e.g. dtml-var "x+y"computes "x + y" dtml-var "_[name]"renders the DTML var whose name is given by the variable "name". dtml-var "REQUEST[name]" look up the REQUEST variable whose name is given by "name". You should read the DTML User Guide (-- zope.org-Documentation) to learn more.

Not sure this is what you are looking for, but here it goes: On Wed, Jun 21, 2000 at 09:38:30AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 How can I access the variables passed into a DTML called as a Form by another DTML? it has the usual ?x=1y=2 ... stuff - I'd really like to loo through these. I assume you have two fields in your form, like this: form action="foo_dtml" method="POST" input type="text" name="x" input type="text" name="y" ... /form Then, in foo_dtml, you would display them as: dtml-var x dtml-var y Easy so far. Also can I construct a string and then evaluate it? ie varname="therealvar" + "name" some sort of eval varname that would return the contents of the variable "therealvarname". I think this is what you are looking for: dtml-let varname=" 'therealvar' + 'name' " !-- varname should now be equal to 'therealvarname' -- dtml-var varname /dtml-let -- Patrick Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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 )
