hi, i am running into a slight problem due to STILL not being able to understand namespaces perfectly, and would appreciate if someone could help out. ----- the situation is this: ----- i have a dtml document called "pageowners", on which i have a list property called owners. which changes every hour. lets assume right now, it says tav and Bill. now, in the same folder, i have a dtml method called "parseit", and i have three dtml documents, called "tav", "noa" and "Bill". there is a dtml document corresponding to each owner. each of the three documents have a title and content. parseit simply gives them a table layout, which simplified immensely, looks like: <table><tr><td> <dtml-var title> </td><td> <dtml-var owner-name> </td></tr></table><br> what i want to do is display whomever is listed as an owner, in such nice tables. ----- the problem is this: ----- in "standard_html_header", it looks up which owners are listed in "pageowners", and then runs through them in a sequence. however, (and this is where it gets tricky), i want the owners to be formatted by running them thru "parseit". however i get stuck when in parseit, as i dont know how to do <dtml-var Bill>, i tried to set Bill in the namespace by using <dtml-with Bill><dtml-var parseit>, and then tried to call <dtml-var id> within "parseit" but that doesn't work :/ and, again, i want this to be done automatically, so i dont want to have to manually list Bill, tav, noa, etc.... i am pretty sure that DTML can handle this, and this is one of the reasons why i like zope, because it lends itself to a structured system which is easily maintainable, e.g. the owners could increase from 5 to a 1000, and this would still work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance -- best regards, tav
