Hello. Thanks. I tried that and now I am getting a type error. Is there any way around this? Zope does not allow me to provide a variable for the EndValue of the range method for the dtml-in tag. - Asad On Wed, 7 Jan 2004, Dragos Chirila wrote:

Hi

Python is case sensitive!!!

It's

<dtml-in "_.range(REQUEST.form['counter'])">

not

<dtml-in "_.range(Request.form['counter'])">

...

Hello. I have a variable that I pass as a hidden parameter from a dtml document to a dtml method(this variable is a counter and is passed to the dtml method when a form(the dtml document) is submiited). I would like to use the value of this variable as the Endvalue of the range method that is used with the dtml-in tag. I have tried both of the following but they don't work and give the error listed below:

<dtml-in "_.range(Request.form['counter'])"> <dtml-in "_.range(Request.get('counter'))">

Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'Request' is not defined

The variable is being passed correctly and I have confirmed this by using the following: <dtml-var "REQUEST.form['counter']">

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- Asad

Sure it does. The following works fine: ---- <dtml-in "_.range(10,15)" prefix=num> <dtml-var num_item> </dtml-in> ---- My guess is you're passing a string value as an argument to range, which won't work for obvious reasons. As a general principle, start with something that works with "dummy" values and once that works, try inserting the variables you want to use. You'll have a much easier time figuring out what does and doesn't work. Also, each time you have a new problem, you should show what code you're currently using. HTH, Dylan
