Believe it or not - I actually understand so far :-)

Now I only have one problem.

I need to test on the value from the select box, eg:
The selectbox is names ActionList.

<dtml-if expr="ActionList == 1">
Do this
<dtml-elif expr="ActionList == 2">
Do that.

But when I say <dtml-id expr="<dtml-var ActionList> == 1">
I get a syntax error.

Help ?
