can i replace javascript with python/DTML. I have used drop down menus in the pages using javascript. Is these available in Zope or is there some way of using these.

I'd keep the drop-down menus in javascript. You can do similar things in zope (i.e. the tree tag or the tab bar at the top of the management interface), but then every change is a fetch back to the web server. If you keep the javascript then it all happens at the client. If you want you can generate the javascript with dhtml. That way the contents of the menus can follow your site. You'd have to set the comtent type so that the browser thinks it is javascript. (hmm, how is javascript cached??) -- cary [snip]
