[Zope] Strange error using DTML with MySQL to build a Select List

[Paul Williams]

Hi Dave,

I got the same result -- a nameError on selected.

What I did was move the selected to before the value=""

ie

<option selected value="...">


an example:

python code


def months(min=0, max=1000):
    min = abs(int(min))
    max = abs(int(max))
    retval = []
    if min > max:
       min, max = max, min
    while min < max:
       retval.append(min)
       min = min + 1
    return retval



dtml code


<SELECT name="total_life_in_months">
          
<dtml-in expr="scripts.get_months(1,100)" prefix="month">
       <dtml-if expr="month_item != 36">
          <option value="&dtml-sequence-item;"><dtml-var 
sequence-item></option>
       <dtml-else>
          <option selected value="&dtml-sequence-item;"><dtml-var 
sequence-item></option>
       </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>
</SELECT>


hope this helps,

PS I am using Zope 2.6.1 w python 2.1.3 and Mysql 4.1 on Solaris 9
