I am trying to get data from a form, and I am using the REQUEST variable.

easiest thing since slice bread :)

When i simple do <dtml-var REQUEST> it prints out all of the variables i have access to.

yup that is basically a chunk of HTTP namespace.

When i try getting to a single one such as <dtml-var REQUEST['foo']> i get a KeyError (and foo was one of the variables listed when i simply printed REQUEST).

why not just <dtml-var foo> ? all FORM variables are in your namespace. but to answer your question (please correct me if I'm wrong) - but REQUEST is a REQUEST object, not a dictionary object. (?) create DTMLMethod called aMethod: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if foo> out of the namespace: <dtml-var foo><br> print foo property of REQUEST object: <dtml-var "REQUEST.foo"> <dtml-else> <form name="aform" action="aMethod"> <input type=text name="foo"> </form> </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> hth, ~runyaga

<dtml-var REQUEST.foo> doesnt work, i think it has something to do with aquisition..? This problem only occured recently, and i tried backtracking to see what I did but cant see to find the problem... the REQUEST variable simply doesnt work, the form passing works because is can still do <dtml-var foo>, but i would like to find out what happend... any suggestions?

try <dtml-var "REQUEST.foo"> you are missing the quotes. look at my example, cut and paste it into a DTML Method called aMethod and run it. ~runyaga

You need quotes to evaluate the expression: <dtml-var "REQUEST['foo']"> i get a KeyError (and foo was one of the variables listed

when i simply printed REQUEST). Error Type: KeyError Error Value: REQUEST['foo']
