I assume, you want to do this in your browser (i.e. on client side): Javascript allows you to set the values of some variables, e.g. hidden variables or text variables. Other variables, e.g. submit variables do not want to get a value. You use something like: document.formname.variablename.value = yourvalue; Look into a good Javascript book for details. > 3. What is the best/easiest way to force a submit? I tried calling > document.submit, but I don't think I am doing it right. You submit a form not a document. Try: document.formname.submit() Again, a good Javascript book is your friend. Dieter

You are using 2.2.1? Earlier versions supported "null" only in connection with formatting. Dieter

You should use: <dtml-with FolderA><dtml-var DocA></dtml-with> You may use: <dtml-var "FolderA.DocA(_.None,_)"> Search the list's archive, when you want to learn more about this magic. Dieter

It sounds exactly like something I asked for about a year ago. It may be the perfect time to raise this point again, though, with the PTK getting ever closer to final release, the ZDP starting to gain some dircet support and validation, and the DC Business Partners program being formalized. So far it's pretty much up to each of us to decide whether or not this or that package is useful. There are some hints, when lot's of posts rave about how great one of the contributed goodies is. It would be great to have a "seal of approval" for contributions that meet minumum standards, with complete checklist of usability, ease of installation, documentation etc. Good Idea! Jerry S.

Mark N. Gibson writes: > The heart of it is that I'd like to have the Zope evaluate an arbitrary string > as if it were a DTMLMethod You may want to look at the DocumentTemplate packages. This packages is used to implement Zope's DTML objects (these objects add persistence which you do not need). One of the source files, I think it was "DocumentTemplate.DT_String" contains a good source documentation which tells you how to use DocumentTemplate in your Python code. Dieter

Dr. Anthony Monta writes: > ... > what's the DTML for making > these objects auto-delete after x number of days? Zope objects are not active in its own. They must be operated on and will not auto-delete themselves after some period. You may look at Xron, a Zope product implementing a scheduler (--> zope.org) It would allow you to schedule events and trigger event specific actions. The action could search all objects via ZCatalog sufficiently old and delete them. Dieter

DTML call, form vars, submits
by Dale Kiefling 19 Sep '00

19 Sep '00

Hello, Any help with the following questions appreciated: 1. I am currently calling the SQL session product with the following code: <dtml-call "SESSION.set('user_id',per_cpk)"> I would like to change this to include a variable, like so: <dtml-call "SESSION.set('user_id',<dtml-var per_coldid>)"> but I cannot nest the the var tag inside a call tag. Is there some other way to do this? Do I have to use form variables or constants in a call? 2. Is it possible to explicitly store a value in a form variable without a submit? 3. What is the best/easiest way to force a submit? I tried calling document.submit, but I don't think I am doing it right. Thanks! Dale

SQLSession Chokes on Hyphens (-), Spaces, and punctuation
by Baker, Dennis [sjmr] 19 Sep '00

19 Sep '00

I'm using SQLSession to manage sessions on my zope site. I need to store member ID's which may or may not contain hyphens, or short sentences describing a diagnosis which usually includes one or more spaces. SQLSession accepts the item, but the next page it tries to load comes up with "improper padding" and errors out on the SQLSession code. HELP !!
