As a slightly off-list-topic third-party followup, what html form would create the above URL if dhtml.doc was the action of that form?

I'm having a problem that all my REQUEST variables are treated as strings, even when they are single digits. I would like to not have to coerce the variables in the destination DTML Method, but rather have the form set the type as above.
See http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes
Note that the caveat is, although the action method doesn't have to wastetime casting strings into their correct format, your users will see rather ugly error screens if they enter bad data.
Thanks Stuart (and Evan). Fortunately my integers come from <select>'s in the forms so I can control the values. Now I can control the types too! Cheers...
