It seems like a lot of work for no gain. I can think of a couple of examples where DTML templates are monkey-patched in Plone and none of those are anything particularly vital. DTML works for the ZMI, new pages can be written in ZPT, why bother going back and changing them all? I mean, how often do you really need to do maintenance on the security form, for example?
The reason for doing the work is not functional but aesthetical. This doesn't make it any less valid. Yes, it's a lot of work and yes I'm not a fast worker. But it is clearly definable and could best be done in two steps: 1) Move to a more recent version of HTML (HTML 5 without the new tags), CSS 2.1 based layout and iFrames for containment and use ZPT instead of DTML 2) Replace frames with aysnchronous communication Charlie -- Charlie Clark Managing Director Clark Consulting & Research German Office Helmholtzstr. 20 Düsseldorf D- 40215 Tel: +49-211-600-3657 Mobile: +49-178-782-6226
