This should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. With this statement:

You could try: _.getitem('clt_id') hth Chris

I can't get the &dtml-clt_id variable to render. I've tried all sorts of variations from leaving out the ; to using the full <dtml-var> syntax and it still wont render. When I look at the request that is sent it looks like this:

QUERY_STRING 'clt_id=&dtml-clt_id;'

Why won't this work?!?! It seems like something REALLY simple, but I just can't get that thing to render right.

Thanks,

Rick

Because you can't use dtml inside an expression. When you are inside expressions you are in Pythonland. :-)

It is. Try this: <dtml-var "webClient('http://192.168.107.8/SQL_Testing/Database_Test?clt_id='+clt_id)"

Have no idea if it woks in your case, but it's worth a try. Remember: Python is easier than DTML, so don't make things too overly complicated. :-)
