       <input class="class" type=button value="name" onClick="onclick"  
onmouseover="onmouseover" onmouseout="return nd();"
              tal:define="query  
python:ztu.make_query(script_id=viewscript,type_name=objType);
                          url string:${createHere}/createObject?$query;
                          windowOpen string:$puID = window.open('$url',  
'$objName', '$puFeatures');
                          refFocus string:${puID}.focus();
                          onclick string:$windowOpen;;$refFocus;"
              tal:attributes="onClick onclick;
                              onmouseover string:return  
overlib('$olStatement',$olSettings);;;
                              value name;
                              class class;"/>

but I checked this out, and it gives me the same results if I type into  
the url bar

http://localhost:8080/context/createObject? 
script_id=pu_baseEdit&type_name=objType

Why I didn't do this first, I am not sure.  So I guess this is an error  
with plones createObject script.  doesn't handle the script_id referral  
correctly...  I will post this to Archetypes.

I can't find it now, but it is obviously not the problem....  Thanks  
for your time though.
