You can't nest dtml-var statements! Why do you use the inner dtml-var to get the value of 'sortid' ? Try: <dtml-in expr="getCsbans(sort=sortid)" size=100 start=query_start> or <dtml-in expr="getCsbans(sort=REQUEST.get('sortid'))" size=100 start=query_start> Looks much better - doesn't it ? -aj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Johansson" <jan.johansson@viking-telecom.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 06:50 Subject: [Zope] REQUEST.get? Why does <dtml-in expr="getCsbans(sort='<dtml-var "REQUEST.get('sortid')">')" size=100 start=query_start> give "Invalid attribute name, "REQUEST.get('sortid')", for tag <dtml-in expr="getCsbans(sort='<dtml-var "REQUEST.get('sortid')">')" size=100 start=query_start>, on line 56 of displayCSBans" when trying to save. it seems like valid code?
