[Zope] <dtml-if> String question

[Stuart Foster]

I am assuming that was the problem, because when I changed the DB fields to
the same size it worked. 

Your example will come in handy thank you...
I have ordered some books on Python, will they help me understand the "_."
stuff ?

Is it possible that the variables may have extraneous leading and/or
trailing spaces?

If so try using: <dtml-if "_.string.strip(s1)==_.string.strip(s2)">

Here's a nubie question. If I am using two string values in a <dtml-if> tag
why is it not evaluating to true?

s1 = 'Hello'
s2 = 'Hello'

<dtml-if "s1==s2">  <-- This is returning 0
