I want to variablize the size parameter as I have done below

It seems however that I get the error "a size attribute was used in a var tag with a non-integer value.". So it appears to me that this can't be done. Is that so?
Is it a property on a DTML Document or Folder? If so, you can specify it as being a integer, instead of a string.
If the variable came from a form, you can add :int to the name on the form (filedID:int) so Zope will cast it to an integer. This will make the variable required, however.
You could also convert the variable to an integer on the spot, using _.string.atoi, like so (untested):
<!--#var "_[fieldID]" size="_.string.atoi(fieldSize)" etc="..."-->
Sorry, I should have specified. Its coming from a namspace ie <!--#with "_.namespace(fieldSize=3)"--> Which I'm presuming would keep fieldSize as an int?
