I can't seem to figure out what the equivalent code would be to use in a ZPT.  Can someone provide me the answer?
 
I have the following statement working in my dtml-documents:
 
<dtml-in expr="methods.dropdown( listname='state' )" >
<option value="<dtml-var item_value>"><dtml-var item_name></option>
</dtml-in>
 
Here is an explanation of what the code does. The end result is that the contents of select lists are based off of data from the database.
 
<dtml-in expr="methods.dropdown( listname='state' )" > # this line calls to the dropdown zsql method in the methods folder and tells it that the variable listname should equal state
 
<option value="<dtml-var item_value>"><dtml-var item_name></option> # this line just puts in the two variables that the zsql method has returned and puts in item_value and item_name (two columns in the db table) into the correct place
 
</dtml-in> # this is just the closing tag
