Hello,

...

<dtml-var "meta_type"> works.

Yes, it display the correct meta type. Thanks. When I had done some tests, I forgot to set the meta_type field, and the system was displaying the meta type of the superclass instead. (which had confused me). Note: I am still not very confortable to use the "meta_type" field to get the class name, and would rather have prefered to have the real class itself. (python type function). Thank you again for your help.

for instance: <dtml-var meta_type> does not return the correct type.

<dtml-var "meta_type"> works. You can also use things like <dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])"> hope that helps, -- ethan mindlace fremen Zopatista Community Liason
