Yes, I realize that. I am using it withing a loop to try an access a specific item of data. The code I showed was just an example from one iteration of the loop. > (I'm assuming this is what you mean when you say column). > > Here are the > docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#for > > If you want to access the column of data, assuming it's referenced from a > model, just the attribute of that model.

From within a for loop I want the n'th item from the first row. In the loop I am trying to access {{ headers.0.forloop.counter }} but I get no value from that. But if I hard code the number (as a test), e.g.: {{ headers.0.2 }} then I do get the value. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
