This working UNTIL I created a Folder named FOO. Then the value of FOO in the Z SQL method seemed to be the FOO folder and not FOO from REQUEST. My workaround was to call the variable FOOCHECKBOX.
2) is there some way I could have referred to the variable FOO in my Z SQL method without resorting to renaming the variable in my form?
A sneaky problem indeed, and once again, one caused by "convenient" shortcuts. (o8
The simple answer: use REQUEST.form['FOO'] to refer to the form variable.
I just did an experiment and if I do the following my SQL Method: <dtml-if REQUEST.form['FOO']> this is never true. If I do: <dtml-if "REQUEST.form['FOO']"> or <dtml-if "REQUEST.form['FOO]=='1'"> I get name errors with REQUEST being unknown. The REQUEST.form thing works in the DTML document that calls the SQL method but not in the SQL method itself. *becky*
