Re: [Zope] why is this?

This works:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('asplit',_.string.split(bigstring,'&'))"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('aname',asplit[0])"> <dtml-var aname>

But this doesn't:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('asplit',_.string.split(bigstring,'&'))"> <dtml-var asplit[0]>

Why is that? What does work for list access?

It's fundamental dtml, <dtml-var aname> is a shorthand for <dtml-var name="aname"> <dtml-val "asplit[0]'> is a shorthand for <dtml-var expr="asplit[0]"> you were trying to use an expression where a name was expected. HTH Siggy
