[Zope] passing method name thru form parameter

[Ayhan Ergul]

Try dtml-var instead of dtml-call. dtml-call discards
the output from whatever it calls.

I never had a need (so far) to test this, but I think
you can do something like:

<A href="?method=methods.method1:method"> method1 </a>
<A href="?method=methods.method2:method"> method2 </a>

and then in the script that gets called do:

<dtml-var method>

PS: As a sidebar, you better know what you're doing
before executing arbitrary methods passed thru url.
The same holds for both approaches.
