Hey All,<br><br>Sorry about that, what I meant is that I get a KeyError. It says that the first_name in REQUEST['first_name'] is not found, when I try to set the variable in line in the script where <span class="e" id="q_10d1dd5ce8b0cb1a_4">
<font face="Arial" size="2">fname = REQUEST['first_name'].<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Muk<br></font></span><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jonathan</b> <<a href="mailto:dev101@magma.ca">

<div><br></div>Hey Jonathan, All,<br><br>Thanks I tried your solution, but it
doesn't seem to work. Can anybody shed some more light on this
situation, since what Jonathan provides is exactly what I want to do, but it's
not working.<br><br>Am I forgetting to put parameteres or some other newbie
mistake like that?<br><br>Thanks in advance and thanks again

[Zope] Python Scripts and HTML Forms</div>
<div><br></div>Dear Trusted Zope Zealots,<br><br>This subject was a bit too
broad to do a google search on, because I've tried and the lack of relevancy
was astounding.<br><br>I've probably been committing a cardinal sin in DTML,
but I couldn't figure any other work around. <br><br>I have an HTML form in
a DTML Document say:<br><br><form action="process_this_form"
method="post"<br><br>Name:<input type="text"
name:"first_name"><br><br></form> <br><br>I want to use
"first_name" in a python script, but what I've been doing is setting it in
the process_this_form, which is a DTML method:<br><br>DTML Method,
process_this_form:<br><dtml-call "REQUEST.SESSION.set ('firstName',
first_name)><br><dtml-call "this_is_a_python_script()"><br><br>and
in the Python Script, this_is_a_python_script<br>I use
REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName')<br><br>What my question is, is there anyway
to directly access "first_name" from the form in the python script without
having to have to call the <dtml-call " REQUEST.SESSION.set('firstName',
first_name)> and then REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName') in the python
script. Sort of a sophomoric question, but any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.<br><br>-Muk<br></span></div>
