If this is your exact code, it looks like you should be using "sequence-item", instead of "sequence_item". You should also be able to do it without the external method like this: (100% untested) <dtml-in expr="_.string.split(acctUsersEmail)"> <dtml-var name="sequence-item"> </dtml-in> "David W.

Hey all,

I'm having difficulty getting dtml-in to iterate over a list of strings returned from an external python method.

Essentially, I have a string that is comprised of the contents of an HTML text area. I need to split the string into a list of words and iterate over this list.

My external python method is this:

def stringSplit( self, theString ): return string.split( theString )

Heres the pertinent DTML.....

------------------- <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set( 'userList', stringSplit(acctUsersEmail))">

<dtml-in userList> <dtml-var sequence_item> </dtml-in>

<dtml-var REQUEST> -------------------

If I comment out the dtml-in block, i have a userList variable in the REQUEST object that is something like: ['name1', 'name2', 'name3']

Any ideas?
