One way might be to forego the use of the dtml-var tag to display the image and just do:

<dtml-with "_.namespace(imagename='images.hd' + section)"> <IMG SRC="<dtml-var imagename>"> </dtml-with>

That won't work because it only returns the string we created, 'images.hd.mysection' which is not a path. We are trying to create a method where we can dynamicly display an image based on the folder the page exists in. The images are named according to their location within the website; hd = top level section = sublevel ideally; top level images mysection would have an image of 'hdmysection' yoursection would have an image of 'hdyoursection' I want a tag I can put in any page and display the correct image without having to create a new unique property in all 2000 pages/ 200 folders. <dtml-var myimage> I can create to string that matches the id of the image 'images.hdmysection' but i cannot get Zope to go and fetch that object. Did I explain that properly? DAve.
