hi, i should explain: the code below is in a method nav_stuff which is called from standard_header which in turn is called from an arbitrary document. when i use the getId() method, zope throws an "excessive recursion" error. any suggestions? cheers, G On 1 Jun 2001, at 13:17, E.

Hi Garry,

i have the following code which works fine:

<dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectIds('DTML Document')"> <dtml-if expr="_['sequence-item']=='index_html'"> <li><dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

but i would like to replace 'index_html' with the document's id variable, something like this:

<dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectIds('DTML Document')"> <dtml-if expr="_['sequence-item']=='this().id'"> <li><dtml-var sequence-item> <dtml-else> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

which of course doesn't work, but i'm not sure why or what i need instead!

Did you try the getId() method?

Regards Eric
