<table border="0" tal:define="activeTab python:request.get('activeTab', 0)"> <tr tal:repeat="tab tabList"> <td align="center" width=97 height=19 background="frontTab.gif" tal:define="index repeat/tab/index" tal:attributes="background python:test(index==activeTab, 'frontTab.gif', 'backTab.gif')"> <a href="/" tal:attributes="href tab/target" tal:content="tab/label">Label</a></td> </tr> </table>

You're joking right? They're both horrible :-(

I'm sure the second one could be made nicer with a bit mroe PythonScript usage, if not then I'll stick with DTML, and I'm sure people here can remember how much I like DTML ;-)

Well, if you don't need the template to look good in Dreamweaver or something, you can get it down to something like this; <table boder="0"> <tr tal:repeat="tab tabList"> <td align="center" tal:attributes="background python:test(repeat.tab.index == here.REQUEST.activeTab, 'frontTab.gif', 'backTab.gif')"> <a tal:attributes="href tab/target" tal:content="tab/label" /></td> </tr> </table> I am waiting for the day when ZPT is default and DTML only is in Zope for compatibility with older versions... I for sure will never use DTML again. /Magnus
