[Zope-DB] How to pass variables?

[Keith Klein]

Iam a newbies in zope I need some assistance with passing of variables.
Iam connecting to a Msql DB with student table, l need to be able to
display the student, delete and update them. I've several ZSQL and DTML
method as below to assist me to achieve that. The showstudent dtml methord
is refferancing the edit, delete and addstudent DTML Methods. The
Showstudent form has buttons for the above, but when l click on the Edit
or
Delete button l get "error value Student_ID". And both delete and edit
DTML
method gives me an error "Missing input variable Student_ID"
How do l go about doing this? How do l pass the Student_ID variable into
those Dtml method.
I will be grateful for your assistance
