Maybe because your object is not in the same folder with the python script.... So, you can try this:

form action="delete" input type="submit" value="delete" input type=" hidden" value="<the relative url of the del_object>" name="del_object" # e.g. "parent_folder/object_to_be_deleted" ... /form

request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE

context.manage_delObjects(context.restrictedTraverse(request.del_object).id()) RESPONSE.redirect(request['HTTP_REFERER'])

It should work.... At 11:16 AM 2/14/2003 -0500, you wrote:

I'm trying to delete an object but am encountering an error: My form is simple:

form action="delete" input type="submit" value="delete" input type=" hidden" value="outputs id here" name="del_object" /form

delete is a python script that looks like this: request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE

context.manage_delObjects(request.del_object) RESPONSE.redirect(request['HTTP_REFERER'])

This is supposed to delete the object passed from the form being "del_object"

My Error: Error Type: Bad Request Error Value: filetobedeleted_id.html does not exist

However the file does exist - so I'm not for sure why this isn't deleting?
