[Zope] Newbie: How to change the value of a dtml-var?

[Eric Walstad]

If I had to do it in DTML, I would do it like:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('x', 'blank')">
The value of 'x' is: <dtml-var x><br>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('x', 'test1')">
The value of 'x' is now: <dtml-var x>

However, to quote the Zope Book:
"When you find yourself writing complex DTML that requires things like new
variables, there's a good chance
that you could do the same thing better with Python or Perl. Advanced
scripting is covered in Chapter 8."

HTH,

Eric.
