[Zope] checking variables

4 Aug 1999

      I am trying to check for the existance of a variable that is passed in the
URL.  The statement is as follows:

    <!--#if cconnect==true-->
        (code block one)
    <!--#else cconnect==true-->
        (code block two)
    <!--#/if cconnect==true-->

The problem is that I always get the second code block.  What am I doing
wrong?  Here is the relevant section of the documentation for the version
that I have:

    Conditional insertion is performed using if and else commands. For
example:
        <!--#if name-->
            text
        <!--#/if name-->
    where name is the name of the item.
    To include text when a test is false use:
        <!--#else name-->
            text
        <!--#/else name-->
    To include text when an item is true and to include different text when
the item is false use:
        <!--#if name-->
            true text
        <!--#else name-->
            false text
        <!--#/if name-->
