There may be a nicer way of doing it, but you can access the outerlist by using _.namespace to insert the orignal value of sequence-item into the DTML namespace as a new variable. In situations where you've got '-' in your name, you can always use _['sequence-item'] <!--#var standard_html_header--> <!--#in "[ [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9], ['foo','bar']]"--> <!--#with "_.namespace(outeritem=_['sequence-item'])"--> <!--#in sequence-item--> I am looping over : <!--#var outeritem--> and I've got to <!--#var sequence-item--><BR> <!--#/in--> <!--#/with--> <!--#/in--> <!--#var standard_html_footer--> Cheers, Andy.

I think it is a bad decision to use the '-' in special names. Here is my problem:
<!--#in outer_list--> <!--#in inner_list--> How to access the sequence-item? this does not work: <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(sequence-item)"--> How to acces to the outer_list.sequence-item? This does not work: <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(outer_list.sequence-item)"--> neither does this work: <!--#with "_.namespace(inner_item=sequence-item)"/> <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(inner_item)"--> <!--#/with--> This indicates, what is going on: <!--#with "_.namespace(sequence=42,item=1)"/--> inserts 41!!! <!--#var expr="sequence-item"--> <!--#/with-->
<!--#/in--> <!--#/in-->
I think it would be nice, if the <!--#in --> would support an 'as' attribute: <!--#in outer_list as="outer_item"--> <!--#in inner_list as="inner_item"--> <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(inner_item)"--> <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(outer_item)"--> <!--#/in--> <!--#/in-->
Or am I missing something???
