[Zope] session data object question

[Dvir Bar-lev]

Hi

I have a button like that but the the problem is that it also has this
value if I refresh the page, what I mean Is this, I put in the logged_in
page:

<dtml-if "Request.has_key('theButton')>
Do something
</dtml-if>

And it has the key even if I refresh the page.

I also tried to put <dtm-var theButton> to see if it keeps this value
after we refresh the page and it does.
What I need is a way to know if we loaded the page as a result of
pressing the button or as a result of refreshing the page, as I need to
do different things in each case.

| Hi
| 
|  
| 
| I was wondering if there is a way to connect the creation of a session
object
| to a button push.
| 
| I?ll explain in more detail:
| 
|  
| 
| I have a log in from called login_form, and I have a dtml method
called
| looged_in that is called when we push the submit button in the log in
form.
| 
| What I did is the following, in the log_in_form I get a session data
object
| only if it exsists and I check how much time passed and act
accordingly, in the
| looged_in method I create the data session oblject ans set the start
time.
| 
| Unfortuantly that is not good for me because if a user refreshes the
page it
| resets the time in the session object, I was wondering if there is a
way for me
| to know if I can reset the session data time only when the user clicks
the
| submit button and not as a result of a refresh call.

Name the submit button and check for the name of the button in the
request.

<input type="submit" name="theButton" value="Press Me">

"theButton" will appear in REQUEST (and REQUEST.form) if the button was
pressed.
