Hello, These are very simple questions, for my simple brain. ;-)
I've been playing with the REQUEST object, and I see that I can set a use the mysterious REQUEST.set as so: <dtml-var "REQUEST.set('test2', 'test_Value')"> and put its value back out to the world like this: this is the request value: <dtml-var test2>
My current question is how to get the value to "stick" as it were, so that I can come back and get it later. As it is above the value is only available for the current page (which, in this case, is the action part of a form from another dtml method). How do I use it in other pages/methods?
I've read the Zope book about creating a guestbook, but I want to break it down to its simplest form so that I can understand how to keep the value once it's in there. For instance, I've gone through the Job Board Tutorial, and see that there is a relationship between the Class/Product, and the REQUEST.set syntax, the only difference being that the second item doesn' t have single quotes around it. I tried to take the quotes off, but I get an error about that value not being available...
Thanks for helping me understand this!
