[Zope] HowTo? onChange assign value to dtml-var

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Shaw,

unfortunately you have to lern how the web works ;)
There is no stateful handling of application for itself.
You either have to use a session product to glue 
distinct requests to one application or find another way.
If you want to talk to a http-server you must do a request.
You can of yourse use a Javascript and a frame to do requests
without reloading the formular containing page itself, but
you have to save the values into a session or directly in 
a DB (zodb or for heavy traffic in a RBMS)

Regards
Tino
