[Zope] Help with a DTML expression/comparison

[Rudd-O]

Hey to everyone,

I'm shooting myself in the foot here with this 
construct:

<select name="begin_day" size="1">
   <dtml-in "_.range(1,32,1)">
      <option value="&dtml-sequence-item;"

      <dtml-if expr="begin_day == _.getitem('sequence-
item')">
         selected
         </dtml-if>
      >&dtml-sequence-item;</option>

   </dtml-in>
</select>

Inserting with dtml-var any of begin_day or sequence-
item yields at some point the same result, logically.  
I'm trying to make the form field default to a formerly 
specified value.

BUT, the comparison between the two, won't work.  Even 
comparing two _.getitems doesn't work.  So it's 
expected that at no point does the selected property 
appear in my html source.

Please help.  I'm shooting myself in the foot here.

Thanks in advance,


        Manuel
