DTML Method editing
To edit a DTML Method, click on its name in the Folder's Contents List. The Edit view is the default view of the DTML Method, as shown below in Figure 50 . On the Edit screen there are fields to edit the DTML Method's title and source code (default source code shown here) and to change the size of the source code area. The new DTML syntax uses the format <dtml-var standard_html_footer> . The older DTML syntax <!--#var standard_html_footer--> that is shown in the "Edit DTML Method" is still valid.

Stan wants to experiment with a DTML Method that will provide an user a message if they login the to the site but forgot their password. This DTML Method will email the user their password, if requested by the user. Copy the DTML script shown in Figure 51 into the source code area. There are several properties that have to be established before this method will work in this tutorial. It is only provided here to give you a place to start experimenting on your own.
