Thanks Mike, I tried also _['sequence-item'] and it works? In fact, I aim to construct a select popup using these sequence-items but add the attribut 'SELECTED' only to an item equal to certain a variable coming from previous form. So in my test, _['sequence-item'] should be evaluate against this variable, <!--#var day-->. For the test I declared and attributed the variable 'day' in a propriety of my folder. DTML file ======

<!--#in test2--> <!--#if "_vars['sequence-item'] == <!--#var day-->"--> <!--#var sequence-item--> <!--#/if--> <!--#/in-->

And there, no error file, only an empty htlm file. For the test, I am pretty sure that 'day' is a possibility of _vars['sequence-item'] . FR. François-Régis Chalaoux Bioinformatics Group Synthélabo Biomoléculaire 67080 Strasbourg Cedex FRANCE Tél : 03 88 60 87 14 Fax : 03 88 45 90 70
