Janko, thanks for explaining this....it works for me also. Although I must admit that I am still suprised that I cannot get this to work somehow if index_html is a method. The reason I am trying to use methods is that in my standard_html_header I am also using the <!--#tree--> tag - this tag only seems to work properly if index_html is a method. I guess I still don't appreciate the finer points of methods/documents and acquisition. cheers, Darcy Janko Hauser wrote:
This is working here.
In folder DEMO
DTML-method standard_head with <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE><!--#var title_or_id--></TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
Folder MYFOLDER
DTML-Document index_html (title -> 'a simple start') with <!--#var standard_header--> <h2><!--#var title_or_id--></h2> <p> This is the <!--#var id--> Document. <dtml-var document_title> </p> <!--#var standard_html_footer-->
This renders to: (Sorry I have no public site)
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>a simple start</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<h2>a simple start</h2> <p> This is the index_html Document. a simple start </p> <p><a href="http://www.zope.org/Credits"> <img src="http://lisboa.ifm.uni-kiel.de:9080/p_/ZopeButton" width="115" height="50" border="0" alt="Powered by Zope"></a> </p> </BODY></HTML>
Is this what you want? Important is the difference between DTML-Method and DTML-Document
