Is it possible to do this given a URL (short of parsing the URL and plugging it into the "hasattr" tag)?

I think you can just capture the exception...

something like this:

<dtml-if "REQUEST.resolve_url.hasattr('http://domain/my/object')"> do something </dtml-if>

<dtml-try> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('thatobj', REQUEST.resolve_url('http://your/url'))"> do your other stuff... <dtml-except> Not there... </dtml-try> Kevin
