Hi Chris, Well, this may just be an email typo, but I think there's a problem with your query parameter string. Try changing: http://localhost:8080/about/news?product=Xdata?newstype=review to: http://localhost:8080/about/news?product=Xdata&newstype=review Aside from the funny looking URL, I just tried duplicating it like this (notice the dtml-with tags): DTML Method "test" <dtml-var standard_html_header> Product type: <dtml-var product><br> News type: <dtml-var newstype><br> <hr> <dtml-with f1> <dtml-var content> </dtml-with> <hr> <dtml-var REQUEST> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> In folder "f1", below folder containing test, I have a DTML Method named "content": Product type: <dtml-var product><br> News type: <dtml-var newstype><br> Then I call it in the browser like this: http://localhost:8080/test?product=Xdata&newstype=review And everything renders nicely. Hope that helps. Eric.

I've been using Zope for a couple of weeks now fairly intensely, and learning fast. But then I run into the most obvious question in the world, and I'm stumped (perhaps it's too obvious). I've scoured the documentation, but I can't find it. So here goes.
How does a dtml document refer to the URL parameters passed to it?
E.g., I have a top-level index_html dtml method containing:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var content fmt=structured-text> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
and a dtml document 'content' at each level in my tree with stx. So far, so good.
But now I want to pass two parameters to one of these 'content' document, as in
http://localhost:8080/about/news?product=Xdata?newstype=review
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get those two parameters. They don't seem to be in the context, and they're only in the REQUEST in the raw parameter string (which I guess I could parse).
Is it because this is a non-forms document that I don't get the parameters? -- Cheers! Chris Ryland Em Software, Inc. www.emsoftware.com
