Hello,

I want to create a dictionary to eliminate some multiple occurences of data. I have two <dtml-in> tags and inside I want to add items to the dictionary:

<dtml-let d="{}"> <dtml-in somesql1> <dtml-in somesql2> do something like: d[key]=value </dtml-in> </dtml-in>

do something with the resulting dictionary... </dtml-let>

so far so good. But how to I add items to the dictionary?

<dtml-call "d[key]=value"> gives me syntax error.

Assignment cannot be done in DTML, it is a security risk. DTML was not designed to be a general purpose programming language; it's meant to be a reporting language. Use python (either external methods or PythonMethods) if you want to do this. -Michel
