Another way to do this is to use the python test() function inside tal:replace to conditionally replace the "if" content with the "else" content. For example:
<div id="edit-area" tal:define="editItems python:here.getMenuItem(...)">
<h3>Edit Menu Items</h3> <form action="Delete" method="post" name="actForm" tal:replace="python:test(editItems, default, 'No menu items available')">
... (form and table elements, and a loop over editItems contained in here if there were results) ...
</form> </div>
This technique works well when you have one case which is more "involved" and can be the default, and another case which is simple text (like an error message).
This is very ugly, even if probably tempting for a PHP programmer :) Also if i18n comes into play, you'll have to use two different ways to internatonalize things... Florent -- Florent Guillaume, Nuxeo (Paris, France) +33 1 40 33 79 87 http://nuxeo.com mailto:fg@nuxeo.com
