You could wrap each <td></td> in a <span tal:omit-tag="" tal:condition=""></span> The tal:omit-tag="" will prevent the <span></span> to be output in the resulting HTML code. Pascal -----Message d'origine----- De : zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org]De la part de Tom_Rectenwald@carmax.com Envoyé : mardi 7 décembre 2004 15:21 À : zope@zope.org Objet : [Zope] Newbie: TAL Conditions Hello all, I am a newbie at Zope, slowly traversing the learning curve. I am focusing on TAL currently, and am quite a bit confused with the tal:condition syntax. I have a Z SQL Method that selects all records from a table in a PostgreSQL database. This method is called "getTransfers". I then have a Page Template called "displayTransfers" that displays the results as tabular HTML. This works fine. However, where there isn't a record (i.e. an empty string), a <TD> will not be defined so that it leaves ugly gaps in the table. To ensure that a '<TD> </TD>' replaces an empty string '' I added two tal:condition statements. This works, but is sort of ugly looking as, in my head, it is the equivalent of two 'if' statements when it should be an 'if/else'. The below code works, however is there a cleaner way to do this? ### START CODE ### <table border="1"> <tr><th>Date</th><th>Server</th></tr> <tr tal:repeat="transfer container/getTransfers"> <td tal:content="structure transfer/time_stamp">time_stamp</td> <td tal:condition="python: transfer.server==''"> </td> <td tal:condition="python: transfer.server!=''" tal:content="structure transfer/server">server</td> </tr> </table> ### END CODE ### I'm from a PHP/Perl/mySQL/postgreSQL background and am new to OOP, Python and Zope so I greatly appreciate any assistance with this.
