Yes its possible to pass objects to scripts you call in dtml. One way to fix your syntax error is to write: <form method="post" action="<dtml-var "complete_or_not(x)" url>" ... > But that will just create the url where your user will go once they click their button. If you want to avoid passing hidden fields take a look at the CoreSessionTracking product. In general you can call a script with something like: <dtml-var "someScrip(mySpecialObject=x)"> or <dtml-call "someScriptWhoseSideEffectsIDoNotWantToSee(mySpecialObject=x)"> On Mon, May 14, 2001 at 04:11:41PM -0700, Luby Liao wrote:

As an example, on line 9, 'complete_or_not' is a python script with one argument. I would like to pass an object x (line 2) into the script. But the syntax of line 9 is incorrect. I could effectively pass x in using hidden fields. But I hope I can avoid that. Any help is greatly appreciated. cheers, Luby
