I'm on the tail-end of another 48-hour Zoping marathon but just when I can see the proverbial light - click(). Arggh. I've pared my current problem down to:

root spam (DTML method) folder1 folder2

where spam contains:

<dtml-var "REQUEST.set('mylist', ['folder1','folder2'])">

OK, mylist is now a list of strings.

<dtml-in mylist> <dtml-with sequence-item><dtml-var id></dtml-with> </dtml-in>

That shouldn't work -- sequence-item is a string, while dtml-with expects an object. Try this instead:: <dtml-in mylist> <dtml-let refID=sequence-item> <!-- alias sequence-item --> <dtml-with "_[ refID ]"> <!-- "dereference" refID --> <dtml-var id> <!-- use the object --> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-in>

My aim is to loop over mylist pushing sequence-item onto the namespace stack, ie,

<dtml-with folder1><dtml-var id></dtml-with> <dtml-with folder2><dtml-var id></dtml-with>

I've toyed with every version of the <dtml-with> tag I can imagine but to no avail. Can someone please explain the source of my confusion.
