[Zope] Re: Page Templates problem

[Wade Leftwich]

Somehow with IE5.0 you don't get a good "here" object in PTs or "context"=
 in=20
scripts. I have not explored it further, because you can't downgrade IE=20
without reinstalling Windows. I'm guessing it has something to do with ca=
se=20
or path separators in the request sent by the browser.

As a workaround, I have had pretty good luck in scripts using=20
REQUEST.PARENTS[0] instead of context. I suppose that might work in a=20
template -- try python:request.PARENTS[0]
