Hi, I am having a problem with using a string reference to an object. The scenario is as follows : I have the tree structure - testfolA display_method testfolB testfolC if display_method looks like the following, everything is fine : <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('go_here','testfolB')"> <dtml-with "_[go_here]"> <dtml-var id> </dtml-with> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> it returns testfolB as I would expect. now if I change <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('go_here','testfolB')"> to now read <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('go_here','testfolB.testfolC')"> I get a Key_error that the URL does not exist. So I understand that testfolB.testfolC is not explicitly on the namespace stack, where as testfolB is, so that calling <dtml-with "testfolB.testfolC"> would work since it is a sequential object traversal, but unfortunately I have to create the second level object through a string reference that is passed in through a form. In some instances it may be more than 2 levels deep. Is there a way to traverse a string name of an object in one hit, or do I need to use String.split and traverse through each object name doing a "_[.... or "_.callitem(.... ? Any help would be very much appreciated. regards Matt Bion
