A traceback is always helpful and would have been useful. Is it possible that there is a 3rd, empty item, or an item with no ^, in "related_stories"? An empty item when split would return only 1 subitem and your code is assuming you will always have two. A test for the ^ in the item before splitting would prevent this. Try this: ... <dtml-if "_.string.find(['sequence-item'],'^')!=-1"> <dtml-let si=sequence-item rs_name_url="_.string.split( si, '^' )" rs_name="rs_name_url[0]" rs_url="rs_name_url[1]"> <li> <a href="http://<dtml-var rs_url>"><dtml-var rs_name></a></li> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> ...
