I'm using Zope version 2.5
Wow. You do know that's over four years old, right? Are you stuck with that version for some reason?
My problem: I need to access the DOM. I need to pass a value from a form field to a python script.
Unfortunately I can't make sense of the above... it was a non-sequitor. Let's split those up, or you can explain how you think they're related:
I need to access the DOM.
Why?
I need to pass a value from a form field to a python script.
That normally has nothing to do with DOM. Typically, the form would just submit to a url that resolves to a script, and that script will get the value from the request. See the chapters "Basic Zope Scripting" and "Advanced Zope Scripting" in the online Zope Book, at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition Sorry if you've read all that before, I may be totally missing your point.
I'm not sure if 2.5 implements ZDOM. If so, has anyone used it yet? If someone has used it, then perhaps that someone could send me a code snippet as an example?
Personally I've never seen ZDOM before. AFAICT from a very brief look, it's nothing but a different way of traversing the zope object tree. Possibly convenient at times but I don't see anything there that can't be done with the "normal" zope APIs. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
