P.S Now that aq_parent is working... why can't I do absolute_url() on DTMLFiles :-( "absolute_url" is provided by the class "OFS.Traverable". Apparently, "DTMLFile" is not derived from it.

Well, obviously... the question is why nobody saw the need to add Traversable to DTMLFiles...

DTMLFiles are supposed to function as *methods* of their classes; methods *don't* have their own 'absolute_url', but return the url of the object on which they are called. DTMLMethods have exactly the same semantics:

<dtml-var absolute_url>

returns the folder/context object's URL, by design.

Thanks for replying, and sorry for getting so long to get back to your answer. Had a fun week recovering from a hack attack. Ok, so DTMLFile.absolute_url() should return its container. Except... DTMLFiles simply don't have absolute_url - their own or inherited. They return an attribute error. I was going to post a feature request to the collector, but if absolute_url on a DTMLFile will return the container, then it's pretty useless.
