[Zope] dtml-if confusion

[Luis Cortes]

I believe you need the following ( the following is psuedo code):

an initial dtml method that processes your form, let call it dtmlForm and it
has a variable prod_req which says how much of the product is requested.

In dtmlForm you of course must call some dtml method which we call
dtmlVerify.

In dtmlVerify you need to check:

    do a dtml-let xyz= "queryProduct"  ...

    do a dtml-if "xyz <= prod_req" then ok else error.


I think that's it.

let me know if this helps.
