Hi all, I have a number of simple forms that retrieve all occurences of a table into editable fields in a page. Each input tag is named: <table stuff> <dtml-in getList> ... <input type="hidden" name="item.fieldname:records:required" value="&dtml-fieldname;"> ... </dtml-in> </table> Note, only the primary key field is actually a hidden type input and the rest are text and so on. In test of the submit button, the dtml-sql method called is structured: <dtml-in item> update table set field2=<dtml-sqlvar field2 type=nb> where field1=<dtml-sqlvar field1 type=nb> &dtml-sql_delimiter; </dtml-in> and the conditions of the method are item:records. The intention is to submit in one go the entire list of occurences and update anything that has changed. You can do this with checkboxes valued on the primary key and other ways. The important thing is to leave something that you use as the key in the WHERE statement. Okay, this works fine, in MOST of my forms, but I have other forms where this doesnt work at all and I get errors saying that the ITEM is a bad request. I dont get it, what am I missing here that this works some places and in other places with almost identical syntax, it falls over. The form is correctly tagged, does the name attrib of the form tag have to do with the <dtml-in item>... doesnt seem to be but tried it. Im wondering if because the dtml-document is quite large with seperate subloops and forms that publish in a sequence of events that this doesnt work. Hopefully someone has insight I'm missing here?
