[Zope] newbie question - variables?

[jonatan]

hey !

thanks for all your help.

i will look around this stuff today.


so one more quick question:

after declaring variables with REQUEST.set, i can access them in a z sql
method called from the same file, but cannot access them from a dtml
method called the same way?


really thanks,

jonatan


ps. looks like i have should pay more attention to advanced dtml docs
