[Zope] REQUEST object - obtaining variables from

[Lee]

Hi there,

Thanks for your help. I'm currently using the following code, which works perfectly;

<dtml-in expr="REQUEST.form.items()">
      <dtml-let text="_['sequence-key'] + 'x' + _['sequence-item']">
      <dtml-call expr="updateDB(text)">
      </dtml-let>
</dtml-in>

Randy's response provided the following code, which didn't work nor did any variation
on it. Surprising as it 'appears' to be doing almost the same thing as above(?).

<dtml-in expr="REQUEST.form.items()">
    <dtml-in expr="updateDB(text=_['sequence-key'] + 'x' + _['sequence-item'])">
           <dtml-var result>
    </dtml-in>
</dtml-in>

Cheers,

Lee
