Now processForm need to tell which and how many choice.x:record are entered. This works: <dtml-var "REQUEST['choice']"> that's as far as I can go. I want to do: <dtml-in "REQUEST['choice'].keys()"> <dtml-var sequence-item>:<dtml-var sequence-value> </dtml> but it doesn't know what "keys()" is.
Question: how do I get the keys and values for this "choice" record in processForm?
Record objects do not implement a mapping interface. Form elements are turned into attributes of your 'choice' object, so your objects has instance attributes named 1, 3, and 10. You will need to use _.getattr() to access these attributes since numbers are not very good attribute names. It might be a good idea to look into a new ZPublisher type called :dictionary (or :mapping) that works much like :record, it would be fairly trivial to implement, want to take a stab at it? -Michel
