In my web page input forms I've been using field names like "radius:int" so Zope will coerce variables to the proper type. This works fine on the server. Unfortunately, if I have a JavaScript function on my web page to do form input validation, how do I reference that object? Is there some alternate naming scheme that will allow Zope to do the type cast and allow references from JavaScript? Should I just forego the :int stuff altogether and do the coercion explicitly?

In your JavaScript functions, reference the variable as such: forms[0].elements["radius:int"] (Replace the "0" with an actual name if you've named your form . . .) -CJ
