I think I didn't explain this right. I need to define 'info' as an onclick operation. I need more than one onclick attribute, one for defining info and the other to call string:expandIt('$resString}';;. but I think I can not do -> info python:here.userInfo(username) in an onclick. I think someone told me before that you cannot call zope functions directly like this from an onclick, I would have to use a javascript function. If this is so, I am not sure how to call a zope function from a javascript function. Plus, I need info to be global.

I'm not quite sure what you want to do, but I have a feeling you're mixing modes. Remember that to Zope Javascript is just text, and that to Javascript (aka a browser) Zope is not visible at all (unless you use XML-RPC). Do you mean to define 'info' as a Javascript variable? In which context should it be global? --jcc

The following code performs an expansion using the onClick.

<a href="#" tal:attributes="onClick string:expandIt('${resString}');; return false;"> <IMG NAME="imEx" SRC="triUp2.gif" WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT="Expand/Collapse Item"> </A>

Is there a way to add a tal:define on an onclick also? I need to define the following: tal:define="info python:here.userInfo(username)"

...

but I want it defined in the on onclick as well.

A TAL define statement, as you can see in the order of operations section of the docs, is in scope for other statements in the same element.

In other words, you can do your define and simply use 'info' in your attributes statement. Are you experiencing anything else?
