Hi there, I have a little question for you gurus out there... Why does this first piece of code work when I explicitly state the folder name and the second not work when I use a variable in its place? (lookup type is set to strain) #1-------------------------------- <dtml-with name="lookups"> <dtml-with name="strain"> <dtml-in expr="objectValues()" sort="id"> <dtml-var name="id"> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> #2-------------------------------- <dtml-with name="lookups"> <dtml-with name=lookuptype> <dtml-in expr="objectValues()" sort="id"> <dtml-var name="id"> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> By my reckoning this should do the same thing, iterate over the contents of the strain folder and list the ids of its objects.
