Actually, the problem has little to do with headers and footers. I was more interested in how you get the content of an object from a method on that object. And if this content contains dtml, how do you make that render. Thanks, Cayce

Might I suggest a header and footer method that's called by the document?

I do this in my standard_html_header:

<dtml-if localheader><dtml-var localheader></dtml-if>

The same in the footer works. This way, whatever localheader is in the aquisition path gets rendered. If you can't rely on aquisition, I think you need some namespace magic.

Try <dtml-var _[someotherpage]> in your DTMLDocument without header/footer. *if* this works, then it'll break if the DTML document isn't rendered this way.
