[Zope-DB] Re: Having trouble passing arguments through a submitbutton

[Laura McCord]

Well I found a way to accomplish this but I did not use a submit button.
In fact, I don't think you can pass an argument through a submit button.
However, this is what I did:

I created an image link where the image looks similar to a button that I
created in photoshop. Then, I created an Edit Button and Cancel button
which you can see below. The first link contains the pass of the userid
which is what I wanted to do.

<tr>
<td>
<a tal:attributes="href python: 'user_EditForm?userid=' +
str(userid)"><img src="edit_button.gif" alt="Edit"></a>
</td>
<td>
<a tal:attributes="href python: 'index_html'"><img
src="cancel_button.gif" alt="Cancel"></a>
</td>

Maybe this will help someone.

Just add a hidden field to the form:

   <input type="hidden" name="userid" tal:attributes="value userid">
