I need to be able to replace the content of a defined variable with an action. That action is by clicking a link that will redefine the variable with different content.

It sounds like you are confused between client and server actions. You are asking for something to happen after someone clicks a link on the page displayed in a browser - the client. At this point, Zope has replaced the page template with the actual markup for the web page, and has sent the page to the browser. There are no page variables or templates anymore. They are gone and forgotten. To get an action to happen on the browser, you have two possibilities - 1) Make it happen within the browser using javascript, or 2) Send a form from the browser to the server, and have the server (Zope)create a new page that contains the changes you want (as well as all the unchanged parts). 1) does not involve page templates at all, since it does not involve Zope in any way. You need to think more carefully about what you want to happen, and where it should happen. Then we can give you more useful help. Cheers, Tom P
