If not can someone explain this to me? This is quite a thorny FAQ. The root of it is the binding of methods to objects/namespaces in DTML, which has had lots of press on [EMAIL PROTECTED] recently. The short version is: -if that code is in a method, it is executed on the method's container (actualyl acquisition context, but don't worry abotu that too much ;-) -if the code was in a documents, it is executed on that document. Since documents can't really have things attached to them that would be returned by objectValues, you usually get an empty list back :-) HTH, Chris _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
