[Zope] Equality test: if sequence-item = document id

[Garry Steedman]

Hi Tim,

i don't understand why, but it doesn't work for me!

what i have is this:

a nav_stuff method:

<DIV CLASS=3Dnavigation VALIGN=3D"top">
<dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues('DTML Document')" 
sort=3Dmenu_sort_order>
<dtml-if "hasProperty('menu_sort_order')">
<dtml-if "_['sequence-item']=3D=3Dthis_id">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=3D"&dtml-absolute_url;">[<dtml-var title>]</a>
<dtml-else>
</dtml-if>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=3D"&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title></a>
<dtml-else>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>
</DIV>

which is called from the standard header.

the standard header and the nav_stuff method are in the same folder. 
if i have a document in a subfolder which calls the standard header, 
which in turn calls the code above, i get an excessive recursion 
error.

any suggestions would be much appreciated!

cheers,

G
