[Zope] ZSQL method variables in a forms select statement - how?

[Jim Sanford]

Most of my select statement options are also pulled from an sql query
below is a snippet of code from our current in use web based contact system:

<snippet>

<b>Org.:</b> <select name="wi_org_id" size=1>
<option value=0 <dtml-if "i_org_id==0">selected</dtml-if>>???
<dtml-in "Query.Distributors()" sort=descrip>
<dtml-let xorgid="xtagval(note,'Org_ID')">
<option value=<dtml-var xorgid> <dtml-if
"_.string.atoi(xorgid)==i_org_id">selected</dtml-if>><dtml-var descrip>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-in>
</select>

</snippet>

*Note: i_org_id is the field returned by the ZSQL method it is an integer
value in the Visual FoxPro (VFP) table. xtagval is an extermal method that
extracts data from a string (in this case the contents of a VFP memo field).
The data is stored in the string with a simple xml structure.
