TIA -Brett Ok, So after some *major* hacking, i've realized that the 'md' passed into the render() method of my dtml tag contains the namespace, and is of type 'TemplateDict' which appears to contain a stack of 'MultiMapping's. Weird. Well, anyways, I just used the 'has_key' and 'getitem' methods to lookup my item. The question now is how do I create a new object in the current namespace? It looks like the TemplateDict is a read-only type of data structure. Anybody? TIA -Brett
