First question: Inheritance.
I'm doing the tutorial in the Zope Book that I downloaded a few weeks ago and printed out. It's the ZopeZoo site that I'm creating right now. For some reason, my standard_html_header is not functioning the way it is supposed to. When you go down into the Reptiles folder layer, the standard_html_header is not being read. It is apparently looking for the one in the root folder instead of the ZopeZoo folder (which is right above the layer of the Reptiles folder). You know the one I mean? The header that they have you create with the navigation system on it. It works for ZopeZoo/index_html but not ZopeZoo/Reptiles/index_html. That's probably an instance of
