Here's what I would do:
class mypage(WebKit.Page):
def actions(self):
return ['nifty_action'] def nifty_action(self):
fields = self.request().fields()
oldval = int(fields.get('foo','0'))
newval = oldval+2 self.writeln('%d + 2 = %d' % (oldval,newval))
self.writeContent()def writeContent(self):
self.writeln('<form action="mypage.py" method="post">') # can use post or get
self.writeln('Number: <input type="text" name="foo" value="" />')
self.writeln('<input type="submit" name="_action_nifty_action" value="Process it!" />')
self.writeln('</form>')
Of course, this is a really simple example, but I hope it shows you what to do.

Well assuming that you've not over written the usual things in your servlets, first you need to define your actions, this is the a list of methods that you're exposing to your get and post statements. for example
def actions(self): return ['myfunct']
then you can call it from your form by using __action__=myfunct.
Last all you need to do is define myfunct in your servlet and get your variables with either the request().fields() statement or request().field('filed') statement.
I know this is really sketchy but I hope it helps. If you want a more detailed example let me know and I'll email you some read code for you to look at

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Webware-discuss] Basic post/form handling in webkit From: "jacob martinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, January 31, 2005 11:26 pm To: webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net
I'm trying to find a document that explains how to handle forms in Webkit without using any third party modules like FormKit or FunFormKit.
I'm using compiled Cheetah templates to present the forms to the user, and I was planning on using webkit servlets to do the backend work with the submitted form information, and then redirecting either to a success page or back to the form to correct inputs.
Is there a document anywhere that shows how to do simple form handling with servlets?
Thanks!
