I may be wrong, but I think you want something like this: <a href="#" tal:attributes="href person/homepage" tal:omit-tag="person/homepage"> <span tal:replace="person/name" /> </a> | also, is there an 'else' construct in TALES? Nope, but you can emulate it with python:test(condition-expr, expr-true, expr-false) []'s -- Sidnei da Silva (dreamcatcher) <sidnei@x3ng.com.br> X3ng Web Technology <http://www.x3ng.com.br> GNU/Linux user 257852 Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Sid) 2.4.18 ppc "Virtual" means never knowing where your next byte is coming from.
