Using the "in" tag's grouping capability, is there any way to get the count of items in that group? I need this so I can have a table with one row per item and a cell rowspanned for all the group's items (eg: related products and their picture). --- Julian Morrison Programmer (Zereau Ltd)

No, there isn't. You will have to use the SQL statement, to add a calculated value column to it's output. You should be able to use COUNT to achieve this. -- M.J.

Rather than using rowspan, use nested tables. I haven't done this in Zope yet, but it was always my solution of choice in ColdFusion. It also makes it easier to debug your layout in a WYSIWYG editor. It does, of course, bloat your HTML a bit. Michael Bernstein.

It will work, and I'm going to have to in the short term, but I really would like the multiple columns for each item to line up down the page, without ugly fixed-width hacks. --- Julian Morrison Programmer (Zereau Ltd)
