DTML. However, I have one question. Is it possible for TALES expressions to make use of acquisition?
Yes.
As a trivial example, say I have a script called getRoot in the root folder that returns the URL of where that script lives. Say also I have a folder off the root called MyFolder, which contains the following link:
<a href="Link" tal:attributes="href container/getRoot">My Link Somewhere</a>
Now, I would intuitively have expected Zope to look in the container for getRoot (ie. MyFolder), fail to find it, and look in the parent folder, then execute it there. However - this doesn't happen.
"It doesn't work" is rarely adequate information for anyone to diagnose a problem... what you describe *does* work when everything is correctly in place. Spelling error perhaps? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
