ok.. that means what you are getting back from your <dtml-in ..> is a
string; strings don't have id objects.

Check out the API Reference for more info;

List of objects in current folder returning objects (sequence-item is the
actual object):

<dtml-in "objectValues()">
  The ID of this object is: <dtml-var expr="_['sequence-item'].id">
</dtml-in>


List of objects in current folder returning id (sequence-item is a string
containing the objects id):

<dtml-in "objectIds()">
  ID=<dtml-var expr="_['sequence-item']">
</dtm-in>


Now, sequence-item in the first example is a reference to an actual object;
sequence-item in the second example is a string containing the id.

If you already have the object, you don't need do perform a _.getitem()
*However* if you only have the string with the object name (ie: id), then
you need to perform a _.getitem()

Does this help?
