[Zope] newbie changingover to zope from html/cgi??

[Rajil Saraswat]

can i replace javascript with python/DTML. I have used drop down menus in
the pages using javascript. Is these available in Zope or is there some
way of using these.
Is there some book released on zope/DTML for reference. 
Does this mean a complete rewrite of the code is required of all the
javascript and cgi files , or is there some method to convert them to
DTML.
Thanks
