Ah, I see the point. It's my 'old school' HTML coding coming out there.

Just tried that, and still get the
  <strong>Error Type: TALESError</strong><br>
  <strong>Error Value: exceptions.NameError on modcode in "<PythonExpr
container.module_info(module_code=options/modcode)>"</strong><br>

error.

I've also tried passing the variable in from the browser window, ie
mod_info?modcode=bgm
And get the same response.

I'm baffled :(
