[Zope] where is the ID?

hello, i have another problem. the ZClass i have created, which is based upon the DTMLDocument base class, is having a strange problem and i'm clueless about where to look to fix it. when i try to reference the ID through DTML i get this: <a href="http://komputer:8080/Efolder/<string>"> here's the DTML that generated this: <a href="<dtml-var URL1>/<dtml-var id>"> was there something i overlooked while creating the ZClass? i appreciate any responses. -<mike>-
