I am sure that this has been asked before but for some reason I cant find the answer.
I am developing a small application and in part of it I want one page to recursively call itself and display a new sub-page depending on which link was clicked on. I am trying to just create a variable that I can set to the new method but I always get an error.
How do you just make an arbitrary variable.
I tried <dtml-var somename> = <dtml-var somemethod> and it did not like that complained about there not being a somename well that's what I am trying to make.
The easiest way is to use REQUEST.set: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myvariable','myvalue')"> Another way to do it is to use dtml-let. This is "cleaner" if you will only need the variable for a short time. <dtml-let nums="(4,5,6)"> nums forward: <dtml-in nums><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> nums backward: <dtml-in nums reverse><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> </dtml-let> Nums only exists between the two <dtml-let statements>. -- Stephen Pitts smpitts@midsouth.rr.com
