Yes it does work (except when unlike `key`, the name has a hyphen - eg. `sequence-index`):- <dtml-var "REQUEST[squence-index]"> doesn't work. Probably gets evaluated as sequence - index ('-' = subract). (These little gotchas!) But this achieves the same:- <dtml-let si=sequence-index> <dtml-var "REQUEST[si]"> ~Shalabh ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Booth <duncan@rcp.co.uk> To: Shalabh Chaturvedi <shalabh@pspl.co.in>; zope <Zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, November 26, 1999 2:58 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Getting at form variables | > I wanted that a url of the form 'http://url?a=b+c&d=e' | > produce a page like: | > | > [----desired-webpage---- | > You submitted: | > a = b c | > d = e | > ---------------------------] | > | > I have finally found the following way to do it:- | > | ... code snipped ... | > Is there a neater/better way? | You submitted:<br> | <dtml-in "REQUEST.form.items()"> | <dtml-var sequence-key> = <dtml-var sequence-item><br> | </dtml-in> | | The items() method on a dictionary lets the in tag handle the key | and the value together. | | > More generally, given a dictionary called map and a string called | > key... | > | > <dtml-var map> prints `{a: 'b c', d: 'e' }` | > <dtml-var key> prints `a` | > | > ...is there a way to get at map[key] through DTML ? | > (`b c` in the above example) | > | > <dtml-var map[<dtml-var key>]> doesn't work. | | <dtml-var "map[key]"> should work though. | | | -- | Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk | int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" | "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? | http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
