Perhaps this is a general Zope problem. He got the index_html through aquisition, and it editted it in place.
Perhaps it should work like NewtonScript -- you could get to object attributes in a similar way, but if you changed them, it stored the changed attribute in the local object, rather than in the inheritted object.
Like this: ObjectA has attribute A, and ObjectB inherits from ObjectA. You can evaluate an expression like "ObjectB.A" and it would fetch the value from ObjectA. But if you chaged the value, like "ObjectB.A = foo", that created an attribute A in ObjectB. Copy on write, so to speak.
Yeah, I was hoping it worked that way. Hopefully this is just a problem with the Zope web site and not Zope itself. -- andy dustman | programmer/analyst | comstar.net, inc. telephone: 770.485.6025 / 706.549.7689 | icq: 32922760 | pgp: 0xc72f3f1d
