Hi all, I'm trying to compare an AUTHENTICATED_USER string to a variable which I named '2nd_smr' in this script to determine if it should be bolded in a big table and stick out for the user: <dtml-if "_.string.lower(_.str( AUTHENTICATED_USER)) in _.string.lower(_.str(2nd_smr))"> <b>2ndS <dtml-var 2nd_smr ><br></b><dtml-else> 2ndS <dtml-var 2nd_smr ><br></dtml-if> The above script won't save, and gives an error. The _.string.lower(_.str(2nd_smr)) expression is obviously the culprit and won't save unless I do ('2nd_smr') which saves but isn't what I want obviously, and ("2nd_smr") won't save. Did I screw up by naming a variable with a number as the first character? Is is salvageable with some funky syntax like: _.string.lower(_.str(_['{2nd_smr}'])) or do I have to just change the name of the variable? Thanks J
