Dear Bruno Great to hear that there are other ZOPE users among us.
When I work with ZOPE I code with dtml. I only found out about ZPT when I quiz ZOPE and never got familiar with it afterwords. The first thing they teach you when working with ZOPE is to combine segment of web pages with <dtml-var "aSegment.html">. With this I could prepare some page with other tags or javascript/css and it will all render normally. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't find any thing similar here and page inheritance is still new to me so I didn't consider it first. I want to create a application that uses minimal html files. At the present stage of development, I coded everything into one html and save all the static data into the database. I want to know about re-rendering a django tag/javascript/css is because I want to allow my users to use a web interface to input their own contents and custom tag that I created and save it back to the database. If everything work accordingly, the custom tag will activate and put javascript/googleMap api onto the page and display a google map. But sadly it didn't gone according to plan and instead the page only displayed the tag as if it was just text. So.. does anyone have any idea how I could solve this problem?
