[Zope] - Getting

11 Dec 1998


      I want to add an index_html to my folderiod object, but I only want to do
that if the parent object is not the same as the object that I am adding.
I thought I could use the isinstance() function but I get this message. 


Sorry, an error occurred.<p>

----------------------------------------
This class is defined in the same file as this function.
Is there some weird scoping issue that I am not aware of?
