Hmmm. I gather not. I can't find one on the Zope resources page, and no one
has directed me to one. So I'll just ask my questions here, if that's OK.

I'm running Zope 2.4.1 as a service on NT4SP6, and using IR5.5 for my
browser.

I'm working through the example given in chapter 5 of 'The Zope Book'. I
have created 'zoo' folder, containing a 'navigation' DTML method containing
the following:

<ul>
<dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')">
    <li><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a></li><br>
</dtml-in>
</ul>

Viewing this looks fine - I get a list of links to the subfolders within the
'zoo' folder.

I also have a standard_html_header DTML method, as follows.

<html>
<head><title><dtml-var title_or_id></title></head>
<body>
<dtml-var navigation>

Again, when I view this it all looks fine.

Lastly, I have an index_html DTML document as follows:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>

<h1>Welcome to the Zope Zoo</h1>
<p>Here you will find all kinds of cool animals.  You are in the
<b><dtml-var getId></b> section.</p>

<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

Viewing this, I have two problems. Firstly, the <dtml-var getId> is rendered
as 'index_html', whereas I was expecting to see 'zoo', the name of the
folder. Secondly, the navigation stuff from the standard_html_header is
missing altogether.

Any ideas?
