      Now, you need to incorporate this method into the site. Let's put
      a reference to it in the *standard_html_header* object so that the
      navigation system is available on every page of the site.  Your
      *standard_html_header* could look like this::

        <html>
        <head><title><dtml-var title></title></head>
        <body>
        <dtml-var navigation>

         <dtml-var navigation>
         i cant get this code to work, should it be <dtml-var index_html>?

         I have the same problem

         i put it into the index_html file just below the standard header call and it finally worked.

         standard_html_header is a dtml method. If you copy standard_html_header from the root folder into your
         ZopeZoo folder and modify it, it will work.
         ...Therefore I assume that if you created it as a dtml method (instead of a page template as I initially did)
         that it would work properly.

         Yes, it's not stated explicitly, but you need to make this a DTML method.

         Starnge thinhg,when I would create the folowing objects:standard_html_header and
         index_html,the code would not function,but if I copy them from the root folder and then edit the source code
         it will strangely function...my guess is that it has to do something with the object Id

         When I copied the standard_html_header from the root and pasted into file folder ZopeZoo it made if
         copy_of_standard_html_header and resisted efforts to change the name to standard_html_header. For some reason
         it keeps thinking that my ZopeZoo folder is the same as the root! Any help? Is this a zope bug?
