[Zope] Re: Attributes

[Andrew Williams]

Simon:

The tal:attributes="src here/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" is actually replacing
src with the default view of an image which is the html tag itself.

An *easier* way of doing what you want to do would be:

<img src="#" alt="#" tal:replace="structure here/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" />

This will replace the <img [...]> tag with <img
src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/ldml/images/ldmlMenu_01.png" alt="" title=""
height="2" width="170" border="0" />

The tal:replace command replace whatever tag it resides in.  The "structure
[...]" will tell Zope not to escape characters (ie " == &quot;).

hth,

Andrew Williams
