i'm not sure about the NameError you're seeing, but the other symptom has to do with whether a browser sends authentication info or not if it has the credentials stored but the site does not explicitly ask for them. some ZMI screens do not explicitly ask for this authentication info but will return something "harmless" if that info is not sent along with the request. IIRC the latest versions of zope now do challenge for authentication on all screens so that the problem should be gone in those. jens On Tuesday, October 30, 2001, at 07:49 , Heimo Laukkanen wrote:

this could be a browser problem. some browsers have problems with the ZMI, most notably some versions of IE. make sure you have the latest version, in case you use IE.
*dough* Tested it with Opera too and worked.
What creates these problems with IE - meaning is it something just to blame MS or is it something that can and/or will be fixed in Zope? I just noticed that with one application I seem to get 'Name Error' with IE too - while other browsers work fine. In the application a product is created with form and id for the product is taken from REQUEST['id']. Somehow IE screws it up...
