- create a new request and resend the result of the query with one detail record "filled out" each time a detail is requested. This approach does not involve any java script. I did send you a link to a sample how to do that. Maybe you have a look at it, and ask me if you need more explanations.
Let me re-state the above suggestion to see if I have it right: 1. Client makes a generic request. 2. Server sends a response containing hyperlinks. Each of these links "drills down" to a more specific request. 3. Client clicks on one of the links to get the specific information s/he wants. 4. Server delivers the specific information. This Web application style is known as REST (representational state transfer). It's fairly well documented and is considered, by its proponents to be quite strong. Here is a link: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RestArchitecturalStyle Zope seems well suited for implementing applications in this style. You can find hints for a simple method of doing the dispatching based on the URL path here: http://zope.org/Members/dkuhlman/ZopeHowToNotes/#traversing-a-url-path If you have corrections or suggestions for this document, please send them to me.
