Hi, Is it possible to output error messages generated by a formulator object in a region at the top of a page template rather than to a column on the form. Also is it possible to place the button where you want on the form. An online example would be cool if one exists regards Chris MacKenzie -----Original Message----- From: zpt-admin@zope.org [mailto:zpt-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Martijn Pieters Sent: 14 October 2002 14:50 To: Chris Withers Cc: zpt@zope.org Subject: [ZPT] Re: TAL and METAL in <script> and <style> On Mon, Oct 14, 2002 at 12:14:03PM +0100, Chris Withers wrote:
Well, taking this use case, the current behaviour is confusing.
I'm a designer, I get this template I know I'm allowed to tweak but I have no idea what this tal: stuff is. I do however, know a bit of javascript. So, I happily tweak the <script> stuff ignoring the funny tal: bit until it does what I want. I hand over the template to the scripter who does his thing and hands off to the customer. I'm then confused as to why the customer is unhappy until I find out that none of my javascript is working. I wonder what to do next.
So, if this use case is broken anyway, could we at least make it useful to the coders and scripters of this world and allow tal: inside <script> and <style> tags? ;-)
I don't think it is broken; as a coder you always have to weary of changes to a template that break the templating code. Imagine a table row with a tal:repeat copied over to a new table for convenience of the designer. Any template editied by a non-coder needs inspection as an unrendered template anyway, as well as discussion with the designer as to what he/she expects will happen when it is templated. Page templates support the use case, but as any tool will not make it work by magic. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ --------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ZPT mailing list ZPT@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zpt
