Dear Salman, before anyone can really answer your question you need to decide if you are going to use servlets or psp to render your pages / process your content. The webware docs are pretty good about telling you what functions do what and I think there is still a pretty good page showing you the basics of both psp and servlets.
as for an IDE there are lots of very good python IDE's out there pick you favorite, if you don't have one give SPE a try (google SPE and python) I think its one of the best out there. on your form, if you leave the box unchecked I don't think anything will be sent in the get/post data for that variable, so you will first have to check to see if the variable exists in the get/post data. I would suggest wrapping your variable assignment in either an if statement like: if 'Donit' in self.request().fields(): f1 = self.request().field('Donit') else: f1 = None Or using a try statement: try: f1 = self.request().fields('Donit') except: f1 = None Both will work just fine Jose > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Webware-discuss] Question...... > From: "Salman Toor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, September 05, 2006 8:26 am > To: webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net > > Hi I am salman Toor and i just started my thesis.......
