[Webware-discuss] A question on Webware+Cheetah

[Eni Mustafaraj]

Hello,

I have the following two Webware servlets and a Cheetah template file:

# BrowseData.py
from WebKit.Page import Page
from Cheetah.Template import Template
from IDA import Initialize
class BrowseData(Page):
   def __init__(self):
       Page.__init__(self)
       self.someData = Initialize.someData
       self.contentTemplate = Template(file="summary_tmpl.tmpl")
       
   def writeContent(self):    
       self.contentTemplate.someData = self.someData
       self.write(self.contentTemplate.respond())
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# DisplayData.py
from WebKit.Page import Page
from Cheetah.Template import Template
from IDA import Initialize

class DisplayData(Page):
   def __init__(self, indexItem):
       Page.__init__(self)
       self.detailedData = Initialize.get_details(indexItem)
       self.contentTemplate = Template(file="details_tmpl.tmpl")
   def writeContent(self):
       self.contentTemplate.detailedData = self.detailedData
       self.write(self.contentTemplate.respond())
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# summary_tmpl.tmpl
## Example of how the data are structured:
##someData = [(index_A, [data_A]), (index_B, [data_B]), (index_C), 
[data_C]), ...]
##data_A = [item_A_1, item_A_2, ...]

<table>
#for $i in range(len($someData))
    <tr>
    #for $item in $someData[$i][1]
         <td align=left>$item</td>
    #end for
    </tr>
#end for
<table>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need every <item_X_i>  (the content of a cell) to be a link (anchor) 
that when clicked, calls the servlet "DisplayData" that takes as 
argument <index_X> and displays more details about the item in a 
separate page. Since I am new to Web Programming in general (trying to 
learn through Webware and Cheetah), I don't know how to create an anchor 
that refer to a servlet taking as an argument a not-to-be-displayed  
variable.

Every insight you might give will be most welcome.
thank you,
Eni
