Adam: Check out this HowTo: http://www.zope.org/Members/Caseman/client_script_howto I personally find it is pretty easy to use javascript with Zope. Basically, if I want to use javascript (like mouse-overs), I create a dtml document containing the javascript I want Then, I modify the "standard_html_header" method and add something like this: <dtml-if js_Rollover_Insert> <dtml-var js_Rollover> </dtml-if> Then, whatever DTML document I want to insert the javascript code for the mouse-over (ie "index_html"), I add a property called "js_Rollover_Insert". The value is not necessary, I use "Yes" for clarity. What then happens is that whenever that "index_html" is called, the property js_Rollover_Insert is added to the namespace. Then, as Zope goes through the namespace rendering objects, you eventually hit standard_html_header. Since the property js_Rollover_Insert is in the namespace, the <dtml-if> statement will evaluate to true and render whatever is in the object "js_Rollover". Hope I haven't confused you... Just as a side note, I started out using IIS/Delphi to write a web application for the LAN group I was in at the time. I did a pretty good job of writing the site; however, once I discovered Zope, and got through the learning curve, I was able to rewrite the site in less than 1/2 the time it took me to write the CGI scripts/ISAP DLL's. It was also a *lot* easier to go back and add functionality as it was needed. If you are considering using a DB to store your data in, Zope will *really* outshine writing CGI/ISAPI in Delphi. Hope this helps, Andrew Williams

Hello all,

I'm new to Zope, and reading as voraciously as I can the breadcrumbs, FAQs, and the online book. I'm also up against a timeline, a week to be exact, to compare/contrast Zope with an IIS/Delphi solution.

Would someone point me to the correct RTFM or FAQ to go about doing the equivalent of javascript image rollovers?

Thanks! &Send.
