From within a DTML page, I'm calling an external method 'EditEntry' like this:
<a href="./Z200/EditEntry?entry=3" style="text-decoration: none;"><font color="green">e</font></a> Inside the external method, I'm extracting the name of the page and the 'entry' value like this: pageID = self.absolute_url().split('/')[-1] entryNumber = self.REQUEST['entry'] This works. But does it look idiomatically reasonable, or is there a more commonly accepted way to do it? always-more-than-one-way-oops-that's-perl-ly yours Most current information can be found at: http://www.mindview.net/Etc/notes.html =================== Bruce Eckel http://www.BruceEckel.com Contains free electronic books: "Thinking in Java 2e" & "Thinking in C++ 2e" Please subscribe to my free newsletter -- just send any email to: join-eckel-oo-programming@earth.lyris.net My schedule can be found at: http://www.mindview.net/Calendar ===================
