As a slightly off-list-topic third-party followup, what html form would create the above URL if dhtml.doc was the action of that form?
I'm having a problem that all my REQUEST variables are treated as strings, even when they are single digits. I would like to not have to coerce the variables in the destination DTML Method, but rather have the form set the type as above.
Instead of naming your input field 'entryid', you name it 'entryid:int'. It's really that simple. Or, rather, it *starts* that simple and can get very complicated indeed as you get into stuff like 'fred.scores:int:list:record' (which creates an object 'fred' with attribute 'scores' containing a list of integers. I think.) For a quick & dirty example, make a Folder or DTML Document and give it a bunch of properties of different types. Then 'view source' on its property sheet! Cheers, Evan @ 4-am & digicool
