You seem to be mixing together client-side activity ('mouse selection') and server-side activity ('query the zodb'?). You will need to separate these two activities: use javascript for the client side and build a normal form-based request which is then submitted to a zope method (dtml/script/external method) which processes the fields from the form request and returns some object(s)? from the zodb.

Subject: [Zope] about mouse interactions..

Hi...

This is probably not much about zope, but I want to do make a web page that does mouse drag query that query the zodb for information.

For example... I have a picture and I want my mouse to be able to point a single point or drag a selection box and what ever is selected will make a new web page and with table about its information.

Would anyone give me some pointers about how I could accomplish this? what docs or books I should read?
