Casey, . Thanks for the quick response. I tried calling it using apply, but I couldn't get the call right. It looked like other code called something like apply(DTMLFile(file,globals()),(),kw) but I don't know what arguments it needs--if it works without arguments, I don't think I tried that. Anyway, if that's the correct approach, I'll play around with it some more until I get it to work.

I have a method in a python product where I return different forms based upon a REQUEST parameter. If I construct the returned html as a python string and return it, it works fine. But it seems more sensible to save the html as a template and then return that. So I created a template file, and used it to create a DTMLFile instance. The problem is that if I return this instance, it is returned html-quoted, which isn't what I want. Looking at the code, I can see this is the expected behavior if you convert it to string, but that isn't being done, explicitly.at least.

Anyone know how to get it to show up unquoted?

It would seem you are returning the DTMLFile object itself. I would suggest returning the rendered result of the object instead by calling it and returning the resulting data. -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------> ___________________________________________________________________________ Visit http://www.visto.com/info, your free web-based communications center.
