Hi there. New to this mailing list. Hope I am in the right area.
Here is what I am trying to do:
a user selects 1 item from a list in a dtml document form. This item
then affects the rest of that web session for the user. Therefore I
would like the dtml document form to call a python script, with the item
the user selected. The python script will do some database selects based
on the selected item. It will also create a cookie with the selected
item so that the rest of the web session will be "aware" of what the
user selected. Lastly, the script should send the user to another web
page that has some sort of confirmation of what the user selected (print
the cookie).
It is all working so far except for the very last part. When I call the
confirmation DTML document using something like "return
context.dpage_confirmation()" I get an KeyError for the confirmation
page. The cookie is being set. I have verified it by viewing the
confirmation page by itself. It is just when the page is called from the
python script.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
