Why of course! I want to create a table of input boxes. The way I wanted to do this was by creating a row of boxes, then going to the next row and creating ten more boxes. In the course of writing this, I couldn't remember what I had originally done that didn't work. But in trying to duplicate it, it does work now: <table> <dtml-in "_.range(10)"> <tr> <dtml-in "_.range(10)"> <td><form> <input type=text name="foo" size=3> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> </table> Of course, at this point, using this code, I have 100 input boxes with the same name. How do I introduce a counter that will give me 100 different names for the boxes (or whatever number of boxes the user wants to create)? Thanks for your help.

Nesting dtml-in is very possible.

I don't quite get from your explanation what your trying to do though.

Could you elucidate slightly.

...

Is it possible to nest <dtml-in> tags? Actually, I know it isn't because that's something I've tried already and it didn't work. At least, it didn't work the way I tried it.

I'm just getting my feet wet with dtml, and I created a table using one dtml method to create one row of the table using the <dtml-in> tag, but it seems silly to have to have a completely separate method for one <tr> tag in a method all by itself.

I did solve the problem this way: I created one method with the definition of one row of a table, then created another method with one <tr> tag to create the next row of the table, then looped using <dtml-in> first-method second-method</dtml-in>. It just seems kinda klunky...

Thanks for any help!
