[Zope3-Users] request ?param=val

[Cliff Ford]

I set out to help with an answer to your question this morning, and 
found a bug in my own code that has kept me busy all day. Thanks! Just a 
couple of thoughts:

Are you acquiring the request object from self? If you have a class with 
a function that does some processing:

def getId(self):
     id = self.request['id']

Make sure you have the request object Ok.

It is not completely clear that you are not just calling one page 
template from another. So a link in page 1:

<a href="page2.html?id=9999" title="Page 2">Next</a>

could be used in page2.html like this:

<p>Request ID = <span tal:content="request/id | nothing"></span></p>

Just check that that works.
