If you want a variable whose scope is a single request, then use the REQUEST object. If, on the other hand, your purpose is to work around the fact that DTML is not a general purpose language, but rather a document templating language, use PythonScripts instead.

There's at least two ways to pass variables between DTML-objects: <dtml-let var1="'one'" var2="'two'"> <dtml-var other_dtml> </dtml-let> <dtml-var "other_dtml(_.None,_,var1='three',var2='four')"> HTH _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
