[Zope] thousands_commas SOLVED

[hpinson at indepthl.com]

Fantastic Count. Thanks!

I was struggling to place the python string.replace function directly 
in the dtml-var tag, and having the usual dtml syntax problems.

Here's what ended up working, for both input and output, allowing the 
use of commas for data entry, or not:

<form name="myForm: method="post" action="updateForm">

<input type="text" name="total_area:float" value="<dtml-var 
total_area thousands_commas null=0.00>

...Submit

</form>

and in dtml method updateForm

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('total_area', _.string.replace(total_area,',',''))">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('total_area', _.float(total_area))"> 

<!-- Call the update SQL method.
<dtml-call name="SQL_updateTable">

<!- Reload the updated form. -->
<dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('.')">

The first two line are really the relevant ones.
