I was just replying to your first message when I saw this, I was going
to guess that index_html was a DTML Document.

DTML Methods are methods of the folder that contains them.  So, if
'index_html' were a method, then when it called 'objectValues' it would
call it on the *folder* is is contained in.  A DTML Document, however,
has it's own objectValues method (because a DTML Document is an
*object*, not a *method* it can have it's own methods) which, because a
Document is not a container, will return nothing.
