Well, if you don't need the template to look good in Dreamweaver or
something, you can get it down to something like this;

<table boder="0">
  <tr tal:repeat="tab tabList">
    <td align="center" tal:attributes="background
python:test(repeat.tab.index == here.REQUEST.activeTab,
                                      'frontTab.gif', 'backTab.gif')">
      <a tal:attributes="href tab/target" tal:content="tab/label" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>

I am waiting for the day when ZPT is default and DTML only is in Zope for
compatibility with older versions... I for sure will never use DTML again.
