For those of you who saw my posts from a couple of days ago
(Dieter
Maurer and Geir Bfkholt), this is the question that I think I should have been asking in the first place.
I have a standard_html_header that is inserted into Zclasses. These Zclasses have properties including meta_author, meta_description etc (I don't think it is important what they are, just that they are properties that standard_html_header does not have). In the standard_html_header, I use code such as <dtml-var meta_author> and <dtml-var meta_description>. This works fine and the properties of the *zclass* are inserted. However, if I put <dtml-var id> into the standard_html_header, I get the id of standard_html_header, *not* of the zclass. How do I tell zope to which item I am refering (bearing in mind, I don't know the name of the zclass ie it is variable)?
Cheers
Make your standard_html_header a DTML Method not a Document. Methods operate on their containers. Documents operate on themselves. The Document is acquiring the ZClass properties after looking through its own. The Method looks for the properties of its containers.

It is a method already! Any ideas. If it makes any difference, I'm running Zope 2.2.0 (although I really don't think this is important). tim
