Hello all, This really is a quick question, but it does take some explaining, otherwise the full idea doesn't get across. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a custom tag write out an HTML table with 3 columns. Also, it will fill in the columns with content, which will come from 3 separate DTML Methods. Ok, now for the meat: I have a DTML Document from which I call my custom tag. Its syntax is this: <dtml-customTag attribute1="methodA" attribute2="methodB" attribute3="methodC"> What this produces is HTML that looks similiar to this: <table> <tr> <td>Content from methodA</td> <td>Content from methodB</td> <td>Content from methodC</td> </tr> </table> Like I said, the content will be provided through the DTML methods, so one of those would just contain text (for now) ;> Something like --> this is methodB: "Welcome to my site. I hope you enjoy your stay." (without quotes) The actual code for the custom tag is this: <dtml-table leftColumn=_['methodA'] middleColumn=_['methodB'] rightColumn=_['methodC']> This does save correctly, and I tried it with quotes around the passed values also. That also works. Now for the problem. I cannot seem to get the tag to evaluate the methods. What happens is that the attributes take in the literal string "_['methodA']" and displays that in the HTML table. Like so: <table> <tr> <td>_['methodA']</td> <td>_['methodB']</td> <td>_['methodC']</td> </tr> </table> So now, here's the question. Is there a way in DTML to tell it to evaluate _['methodA'] so that when I write: leftColumn=_['methodA'] it will first see that I want the text within the DTML Method methodA, and assign that to the attribute leftColumn? I did something similiar that worked, but it used the <dtml-var> tag. I wrote this to display an image that I wanted to display 500 pixels wide: <dtml-var expr="imageName.tag(width=_['methodSize'])"> Within the DTML Method "methodSize", I simply wrote the string (number) 500 So what happened is that the tag evaluated the method, and returned the string, '500' to make the argument width=500 What I see from this is that the <dtml-var> tag itself does the evaluation on _['methodSize'], correct? And if so, then how does it do it? Sorry for the short novel, and thanks in advance, Tommy
