[Zope] can one pass values through the 'action' property?

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Tommy,

	Four choices:

		1) If you don't have too much data.. use "GET" rather than 
"POST", then you can append to the URL as you've done.

		2) Use hidden form fields.

		3) Use cookies (again... if not too much data)

		4) Use sessions
