but got this error:
Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: a_script() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
Next, I rewrote the script to put in a try statement for the variable, to test that, but before I even got to test I looked at the rendered code from the above line and it gave me this:
<a href="<html><body>nope</body></html>?doc=0">
So it doesn't look like the "string:${..." workaround worked :(
And I don't think I need to URLquote.
TIA,
Tony

My guess is that what you're _really_ trying to do here is:

<a href=""
tal:attributes="href string:${here/a_script/absolute_url}?avar=${x}"/>

...but next you'll be wondering how to url quote x.

I feel we're fighting a loosing battle here...
