Re: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
Make sure that the standard_html_header is a DTML Method and not a DTML Document. Make sure that the calling document is DTML Document and not a DTML Method and it should work. That way the header acquires the title of the calling document. If the calling document is a DTML Method, it acquires it's title from somewhere else according to the Zope rules of acquisition (as opposed to the Ferengi rules of acquisition ;).

RE: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
Chris, I can't change all the other DTML Methods to DTML Docs... I
would have to have only 1 DTML Method which is unthinkable.
Now, I'm sure there's a way to force what I want to do. Either with a
REQUEST.set('[calling_document.Title]') or something real :)
Is there such a function? (I'm sorry, I'm still confused on how to
call things in Zope.)
As for the Ferengi rules of acquisition, at least, I'm pretty sure I'd
get some profits :) haha But, unfortunately, my ears are not as
erogenous as the Ferengies. :)

RE: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
Sorry, but my understanding (which certainly may be wrong, since I don't
fully grasp the ins and outs of this yet) is that the namespace starts
with the client object to which the method is bound. The attributes (like
title) of the method never get into the namespace. This is part of the
design of DTML Methods; they can be bound to a variety of objects while
still giving full access to the client's namespace. This is why the trick
of calling a DTML Document's title from an embedded DTML header Method
works. The effect you want to achieve depends on this distinction between
DTML Methods and Documents.
Another way to say this is that the distinction between DTML Documents and
Methods allows a separation of content and logic. Put your content
(including Titles that will be significant to your visitors) in Documents
and your logic in Methods.
Cheers,
Chris

RE: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
Oops! I spoke way too soon.
Try but you can't use it in a header or it will
give you the title of the header.
You can use the following code in a header:
although it is a bit indirect and fragile: it will only work if you want
the title of DTML Method 'foo' and it is in folder 'bar' and the URL you
use to get it ends '/bar/foo', but it works in a header that is somewhere
else. You can modify objectValues to expr="bar.objectValues()" but then
it won't work in a header called by methods not in 'bar'. Another
possible modification is expr="PARENTS[1].objectValues()".
Cheers,
Chris

RE: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
Chris, Thanks. It did work. Only thing is I feel like trying to break eggs to cook with a jackhammer... It works but it is daunting. Nonetheless, I'm very glad you gave me that. I don't think I would have been able to pull that one off by myself. Oh, maybe in a year or so :) I have to say that it works on subfolders. The header in is the root and other docs are below the root (of course). At least, until now, it gave me what I wanted. Thanks again for your help.

RE: [Zope] Special behavior or bug?
I've discovered another possible solution to your problem. In a DTML Method change to where foo is the id of a DTML Method. Then within standard_html_header, the variables title and id will refer to foo's id and title.
