Hi,

please try this as a DTML Method:

<dtml-let l="[[1, 2], [3, 4]]"> <dtml-in l> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"><br> </dtml-in> </dtml-let>

<dtml-let l="[(1, 2), (3, 4)]"> <dtml-in l> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"><br> </dtml-in> </dtml-let>

Why should the two results differ ?

This is a designed-in feature of dtml-in. When you call an items() method on a dictionary-like object, you get back a list of two-tuples: [(key1,value1), (key2,value2, ...] It is often nice to iterate through such a list in dtml, so, dtml-in detects that the next item in the iteration is a two-tuple, and puts the elements of the tuple in sequence-key and sequence-item. If you look throughthe zope-dev list archives, you'll find a number of arguments on each side as to whether this is a bug or a feature. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited
