If your original form submits using the GET method, then QUERY_STRING will contain the already URL encoded parameters that the browser sent originally. DTML also has a url_encode format you can use to cause a string to be url encoded if it isn't already. Check the dtml reference. --RDM

Thanks for the input. I ended up putting the info I needed into the url <dtml-var "someurl?a=blah"> I put it in a method that is usuble from a couple of forms and it seems to work.

Hi Stuart, i ran into the same problem a little while ago. i was trying to pass the user around to the proper display&process page(with inputs inplace) after a logic page that determined where they should go based on their inputs. IMO, The crux of the problem is that Zope as a web development platform should include the urlparse lib from the python core more over this problem and others like it should be remedied i believe by a standard method of extending the modules in the _ namespace with thread safe modules that a developer deems nesc. OK enough soap box... i ended up reimplementing the nesc. functionality in a python method and created another method to implement complete form insertion in much the same the style that of some ACS(arsdigita) utiltiy methods do. here they are, usage examples are included in the code. of course this solution requires evan simpson's python methods product be installed on your zope.

If I do <dtml-call RESPONSE.redirect('otherform')> The current form isn't being passed ?

If you want to pass the form variables, you're in for a fight. (o8 otherwise, you could simply try : <dtml-var "otherform(_.None, _)"> instead of a redirect. If you want to make sure only the correct form vars are passed, you could flub it with something like: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('otherform?var1=%s&var2=%s' % (var1, var2) )"> If this doesn't help, some more detail on your part might. (o8

Any ideas..

TIA Stuart

Have a better one, Curtis.
