ok, yet another stupid query :) I have a site layout like so: foldera> foldera.1> foldera.2> folderb> and I have properties set for foldera> In foldera.1> i have a document wherein I use the #in tag, but it doesn't seem to have access to the foldera> properties. Now, from reading the manual, it seems that properties are supposed to propigate through to all objects in a folder. So why doesn't a document in a subfolder have the property list from the above folder? or am I missing something? -------------- solution for spanning a table with entries from a property list of tokens. I have been trying to populate a 2 column table with entries from a property list, but was just not having any luck. Then, hidden in a footnotish bit of text in one of the manuals, I noticed a small blurb about the "-even" tag to sequence-index TADA -- instantly my problem was no more -- the code looks like this if anyone else is trying to do something similar: <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%"> <!--#in project_property_tokens--> <!--#if sequence-index-even--> <TR> <TD> <INPUT type="checkbox" name="project" value="<!--#var sequence-item -->"> <!--#var sequence-item spacify--> </TD> <!--#else--> <TD> <INPUT type="checkbox" name="project" value="<!--#var sequence-item -->"> <!--#var sequence-item spacify--> </TD> </TR> <!--#/if--> <!--#/in--> </TABLE> I'm slowly coming to realize that Zope is really powerful NOT just for the ease at which it can do interfacing with databases and structuring of site hierarchies, but also for the really cool layout stuff you can make VERY easy with it as well. -daw --------------------------------------------- A computer without Microsoft products is like a dog without bricks chained to its head ---------------------------------------------
