hi, may be http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes helps you to understand. Basically the . is the delimiter for object/subobject relations in python. In your case you get "name" either with <dtml-var "table.name"> or <dtml-with table> <dtml-if name> ... <dtml-else> ... </dtml-if name> </dtml-with> HTH Tino Wildenhain --On Dienstag, 20.

Hi all,
I am using ZnolkSQLWizard and it creates output like <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="table.name"> ...
Now I am trying to force the user not to leave the field blank. Usually it works with <dtml-unless "somevariable"> ... once again! ...</dtml-unless>
but with <dtml-unless "table.name"> ... I get the error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: table (The Traceback is at the end)
Like it seems it don't like the '.'?
But for <dtml-var table.name> I'm getting the right value. So what I'm not understanding? How can I solve it and is it a good idea to use '.' in variables?
Thanks Damir
