To help me with the tedious business of creating forms, I would like to make a generic field gadget. I thus have a dtml-document which has a number of attributes: Eg: fieldname = 'userid' fieldname-error = 'userid-error' But I now want this dtml-document when rendered to read the values of fieldname, and fieldname-error, and then generate the dtml equivalent to this ... <dtml-if userid> value="<dtml-var userid>" </dtml-if>> <br> <dtml-if userid-error> <font size="2" color="red"><dtml-var userid-error></font><br> </dtml-if> Clues? I presume the MetaPublisher product does this in rendering the dtml to another final dtml-document. -- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.php Powered by Interbase and Zope.
