When using direct traversal on SQL methods, the preferred form is /SQLmethod/value/htmlpage. Since I want users to not have to know what html page they are supposed to reference, I have my index.htm set up to react to the presence of trigger keys in the url by including different files. <!--#if "_.string.find(URL,'staff')!=-1"--> <!--#var page--> <!--#elif "_.string.find(URL,'department')!=-1"--> <!--#var render_dept--> <!--#else--> <!-- Actual index.html is here--> <!--#/if--> I would like to know whether there is anyway in DTML to determine whether variables in the namespace result from an SQL method. Specifically, I want a test which answers the question "Has SQL Method X been called prior to evaluation of this page?" I need this because at the moment, if someone uses a URL with 'department' or 'staff' and fails to include the trailing /, they get a Zope error. I would prefer if it simply displayed the index.htm contents. Thanks, Howard C. Shaw III Programmer/SysAdmin St. Thomas High School
