My template is a zap-form created by DataQuery. The page than fills a mySQL database with its content and later it gonna have a lot more variables.

(:title Editing {*$Group} {*$Name}:)
(:messages:)
(:zapform key=edit:)
(:table class=DQedit:)

(:cellnr class=head:)%class=required%Titel:
(:cell:)(:input text Titel '{*$:Titel}' :)

(:cellnr class=head:)%class=required%Text:
(:cell:)(:textarea name=Text rows=5 cols=60:)(:keep {*$:Text}:)(:textareaend:)

(:cellnr class=head:)%class=required%Autor:
(:cell:)(:input text Autor '{*$:Autor}' :)

(:tableend:)
(:zap savedata="ID,Titel,Text,Autor" edit:)
%center%(:input submit post ' Save ':)
(:zapend:)
(:zapform key=del:)(:input submit name=DelButton value=Delete:)
(:zap if1="equal {DelButton} Delete ? delete=^" del:)
(:zap delete="" del:)
(:zapend:)

That's it, exactly!

So your suggestion would mean to transform the zap code on the template site into fox code at the button, and prepopulate the template with variables, right?
