I think the general idea of automating html generation for data entry web forms is a very good one, but IMHO it's heroic to even think about doing this sort of stuff in dtml!! (This discussion probably should be moved to zope-dev?) I've got something which generates useful DTML and ZSQL code automagically from ZClass BASIC propertysheet contents and so can be used to do the grunt work for making zclass add and edit methods. It generates ZSQL code which is only tested for the sybaseda but would be relatively easy to tweak for other DA's It uses a single python external method - have a look at http://www.zope.org/Members/rossl/ZClassExtender for an example of what's possible...feel free to extend it?!!

I have the method form_dtmlDocument which generate the data entry form from an existing dtmldocument, How can I determine the type of the properties? Moreover, if the property is expected as list, how can I convert it into multiple input tag?
