Why not just use PAS or Cookie Crumbler? ;-)

I'll bet your doing something like:

<mytag tal:define="dummy here/myScript"
        metal:use-macro="something">
...

The macro replaces the whole tag before the tal:define gets called.

Anyway, overarchingly, don't mix presentation and logic like this, 'cos 
it causes these kind of problems ;-)

cheers,

Chris
