here is a piece of code from article.html: <center><table width=60%><tr><td> <b><center>*<dtml-var pass_id>*</center></b> <dtml-in "articles.objectValues()"> <dtml-var expr="id==pass_id"> <dtml-if expr="id == pass_id"> <p><b><dtml-var title></b> <dtml-var sequence-item></p> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </td></tr></table></center> then i access it via http://localhost:8080/article.html?pass_id=validid and validid is a valid id of a dtml method in the articles folder. however, i get weird results: *validid* 0 0 which is weird because getting a 0 0 means that none of the ids matched. more weirdness? -------------------------------------- William Emmanuel S.
