Also there are some gross HTML errors (check out the font size/type for last 2/3 of the document, starting at "Here is the HTML input form"). -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "What the hell, he thought, you're only young once, and threw himself out of the window.

Cathi, Your documentation has been added to the Trinkets Tutorial online at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/Trinkets/index_html

Very nice!

These changes are only available in the latest CVS release, however. How will a new developer be able to detect this from the documentation?

Some errors:

-- RECORD

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="person.name:record" SIZE="30">

The input tag for the name field is named person.name:record:ignore_empty. The :record part of the name indicates to Zope that the field should be converted to a record before passing it to the published method. A record variable will be created called person and it will have an attribute called name.

- Either: The first line should read: .. is named person.name:record. The .. - Or: the NAME field of the INPUT tag should read: person.name:record:ignore_empty

-- RECORDS

The records method is implemented:

<P><H2>Member #1<H2></P><br> <P>lease enter your name:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.name:records:ignore_empty" SIZE="30"><BR> your email:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.email:records:ignore_empty" SIZE="30"><BR> your age:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="myname.age:int:records:default" Value="0"<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.age:int:records:ignore_empty"></P><BR> <P><H2>Member #2</H2></P><BR> <P>Please enter your name:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.name:records:ignore_empty" SIZE="30"><BR> your email:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.email:records:ignore_empty" SIZE="30"><BR> your age:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.age:int:records:ignore_empty<a href="records"">></P>

In this sample the form asks for a name and age for two different members of a club. The part appears in each input tag. This type will create a list called members that will hold records (in this case it will hold two records). Each record can have the attributes name and age.

- The hidden field should read: .. NAME="member.age:int:records:default" .. - A newline before the line 'Member #2' would increase readability.
