But what I would really like to do is this:

<dtml-if "some_condition"> <dtml-var "render_item(_,_.None,REQUEST,input_var1='value1')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "render_item(_,_.None,REQUEST,input_var1='value2')"> </dtml-if>

You're very close. Michel Pelletier wrote a message a few weeks back that explained things nicely. Basically, the first parameter is the "target" object (not sure if that's the right word), and the second parameter is the namespace. <dtml-if "some_condition"> <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value1')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value2')"> </dtml-if> Should do what you're looking for. Note that you don't need to pass REQUEST in, because it is a part of the namespace. Kevin
