Andy, I'm not explaining the problem properly... we're iterating through a sequence of object names so aq_parent[ _.getitem('sequence-item')] but that only looks one level up. I tried aq_acquire( _.getitem('sequence-item')) and aq_parent.aq_acquire( _.getitem('sequence-item')) Thanks, Dan On Sun, 18 Aug 2002, Andy McKay wrote:

...

Hi,

Is there an easy way within a DTML method to acquire a named object that may be anywhere upward.

At the moment I'm looking at the parent by doing aq_parent['name'] but that only looks one level up. I tried aq_acquire('name') and aq_parent.aq_acquire('name') but they don't work.

Thanks,

Dan

Maybe try: _.getattr(aq_parent, _.getitem('sequence-item')) hth, -Casey On Monday 19 August 2002 05:49 am, Dan Jacobs wrote:
