Dear all, Imagine folder structure (at Zope 2.5.1): Method1 Method2 object2 object1 +------object3 Method1 (simplified) return object2!!! <dtml-with object1> <dtml-with aq_explicit> <dtml-try> <dtml-var object2> <dtml-except> </dtml-try> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> It does not matter, how much <dtml-with aq_explicit> tags you define, with only one works like with paranoid-wide spread <dtml-with aq_explicit> tags. I was play with "only" appendics in dtml-with tag, but no success until I make Method2 Method2 (simplified) works as expected and render nothing: <dtml-with object1> <dtml-if "_.hasattr(aq_explicit, 'object2')"> <dtml-var object2> </dtml-if> </dtml-with> Does aq_explicit fail if is used with <dtml-try> tags or I am weak? Many thanks, J. Lukesh
