Hi all,

Source code of SaveMenu.html

<dtml-var "SaveMenu(REQUEST=REQUEST)">

Source code of the external method SaveMenu

def SaveMenu(self, REQUEST=None): s="" i = 1 s = s +"<input type=hidden value='<dtml-var nbMenu>' name=nbMenu>" return s

And here is the code returned when SaveMenu is executed:

<input type=hidden value='<dtml-var nbMenu>' name=nbMenu>

instead of value='<dtml-var nbMenu>' I should have value=(an integer)

Is there an alternative solution to fix that problem?

Many Thanks,

Yannick

try: s = s +'<input type=hidden value="%s" name=nbMenu>' % REQUEST.nbMenu Assuming nbMenu is in REQUEST. -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------> It works perfectly, Thanks a lot Yannick
