Rick, I got a chance to try this out, had to fix it a little, but this was the hook I needed. Thanks.

I have this simple tree:

<dtml-tree branches="objectValues" skip_unauthorized="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="delItems:list" VALUE="<dtml-var id>"> <a target=main href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> </dtml-tree>

The anchor's target is main. But it if it is a Folder I want the target to be self.

And I want to skip some items.

How do I return the objectType (eg Folder, Document, Method) so I can alter the anchor, and/or object Properties that I might set to make other decisions?

try (untested):

<dtml-tree branches="objectValues" skip_unauthorized="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="delItems:list" VALUE="<dtml-var id>"> <dtml-if "meta_type != 'Folder'"> <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> <dtml-else> <a target=main href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a> </dtml-else> </dtml-tree>

with the dtml-if tag you can test for other properties in the same way.

hth
