Many thanks. I appreciate the help. I think I've incorporated your suggestion into the code below... <html> <body> <span tal:define="opts python:here.parse_file(file=getattr(context,options.parm),sepr=',',clone=1)"> <tal:block repeat="opt opts"> <li><a tal:content="python:opt[1]" tal:attributes="href python:opt[0]"></a></li> </tal:block> </span> </body> </html> Unfortunately, when I try to use this expression <dtml-var expr="testlist(parm='links')"> I get this Zope error:- Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'dict' object has no attribute 'parm' Can't help thinking it is a simple syntax error - missing bracker, quote etc... but just can't figure it out. > --jcc > > -- > "Building Websites with Plone" > http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ > > Enfold Systems, LLC > http://www.enfoldsystems.com -- John _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
