I'm trying to figure out Zope (on a time crunch, too), and I'm wondering how to do something. How can I access HTTP variables in my DTML code? Specifically, I want to return code specific to the user's browser. I know that HTTP has provisions for determing browser version, are those accessible in DTML and how? If they are not accessible in DTML, is there a workaround (without oodles of javascript)?

these variables are part of the REQUEST namespace. Specifically you can do <dtml-var "REQUEST.HTTP_USER_AGENT"> to display the browswer version. Creating conditional code is left as an excersize for the student. If you want to display a complete list of all HTTP REQUEST variables, try this: <dtml-var REQUEST>

Another quick question: I see that Zope 2.3 will have "Script" objects. What's the closest I can come in Zope 2.2.5?
