Simon: The tal:attributes="src here/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" is actually replacing src with the default view of an image which is the html tag itself. An *easier* way of doing what you want to do would be: <img src="#" alt="#" tal:replace="structure here/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" /> This will replace the <img [...]> tag with <img src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/ldml/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" alt="" title="" height="2" width="170" border="0" /> The tal:replace command replace whatever tag it resides in. The "structure [...]" will tell Zope not to escape characters (ie " == "). hth, Andrew Williams "Simon Forster" <simon-lists@ldml.com> wrote in message news:C62CE791-A1BF-11D7-9ACC-000A9579123A@ldml.com...
This should be simplicity itself but I've read and re-read what the Zope book has to say on this and I don't understand...
<img src="../images/ldmlMenu_01.png" width="170" height="2" border="0" tal:attributes="src here/images/ldmlMenu_01.png">
should, if my understanding is correct, replace the src attribute for the image with the path defined by the tal:attributes statement. My understanding is wrong because I get:
<img src="<img src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/ldml/images/ldmlMenu_01.png"; alt="" title="" height="2" width="170" border="0" />" width="170" height="2" border="0">
To put this in context, this snippet is contained in a format file which is included in a number of other files. Not knowing better I've used the construct:
<div id="menuMain" tal:replace="structure here/main_menu"> ...placeholder code... </div>
to include this although I understand that I should use Macros to include this. I'll change this shortly.
It looks as if...
No I wont embarrass myself further. Would someone explain what's going on here and where my understanding is wrong.
TIA
