<dtml-in expr="_.range(0, movie_rating)"> <img SRC="star.gif" height=15 width=15> </dtml-in>
Replace movie_rating with the variable that represents the movie rating.
What about <dtml-var "'*' * movie_rating"> ?
Fine, except that he wants the <img> tag repeated the appropriate number of times. Try putting the tag into the dtml-var statement and you get something along the lines of (untested): <dtml-var "('<img src=%sstart.gif%s height=15 width=15>' % (_.chr(34), _.chr(34))) * movie_rating"> at which point the dtml-in starts to look more appealing. Of course if you rename star.gif as star_gif you could try: <dtml-var "start_gif.tag() * movie_rating"> which has a certain neatness. -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
