[Zope] delete HTML Tags out of a form input

19 Apr 2001

      Hi

I would like to delete HTML tags which may have been entred in to a form,
before I store the value into a ZClass Instance ..
My Idea was just to replace the '<' '>' characters with something less
dangerous ..

My code is:
  <dtml-let transtab="_.string.maketrans('><','**')">
    <dtml-call
"REQUEST.set('Message',_.string.translate(Message,transtab,'><'))">
  </dtml-let>

The problem is now, that it deletes the >< but it don't replace them with
the * ... what is it, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help
