[Zope] dtml-in question

[Russell Hires]

Why of course!

I want to create a table of input boxes. The way I wanted to do this was by
creating a row of boxes, then going to the next row and creating ten more
boxes.

In the course of writing this, I couldn't remember what I had originally
done that didn't work. But in trying to duplicate it, it does work now:

<table>
<dtml-in "_.range(10)"> 
  <tr> 
  <dtml-in "_.range(10)">
   <td><form>
   <input type=text name="foo" size=3>
  </dtml-in>
 </dtml-in>
 </table>

Of course, at this point, using this code, I have 100 input boxes with the
same name. How do I introduce a counter that will give me 100 different
names for the boxes (or whatever number of boxes the user wants to create)?

Thanks for your help.

Russell
