If I inspect REQUEST by inserting a <dtml-var REQUEST> in my dtml I can see that AUTHENTICATED_USER is set to Anonymous User. Yet when I insert the following code, it never displays Guest. It takes the else branch and then, perversely, displays Anonymous User. Please point out my stupid mistake. <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER=='Anonymous User'"> Guest <dtml-else> <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER> </dtml-if> Thanks. Maybe I shouldn't work on Saturdays.
