hi darran, use an invisible input element in your form in this case, something like this: <input type="hidden" name="variable_name" value="value"> this will be sent across to the form's target method with all other form field data, and they aren't visible/editable by the person seeing the form. jens

I wonder if someone can add to the recent comments about passing parameters from one DTML method to another, viz.

...

<dtml-if "some_condition"> <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value1')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value2')"> </dtml-if>

My problem is that I am trying to pass parameters from my feedback form method "feedback_form" to the send method "feedback_send", ie.

<form action="feedback_send(_.None, _, testvar='testval')" method="post"> ... </form>

or

<form action="<dtml-var feedback_send(_.None, _, testvar='3.14')>" method="post"> ... </form>

Neither of these work. Note, these parameters aren't the form data, but params I don't want the user to have edit access to. Any ideas are much apppreciated.

Cheers, Darran.
