TAL itself can't handle processing of retrieved data, it's only for data fetching. To do this you'd ideally create a data object that knows how to capitalise itself, and do something like: <span tal:content="/data/myname/capitalize"> Deferring to US spelling for the function call, to make it consistent with most other things. This isn't great MVC however, so a better way would be to follow your original idea of calling a JS function, as in Zope you'd use a python expression somewhat like this, depending on where you keep your capitalize method: <span tal:content="python:container.capitialize(data.myname)"> Though I'd recommend creating a string object with capitialize in its prototype: <span tal:content="javascript:string.Capitalize(data/myname)"> -- Phillip Hutchings http://www.sitharus.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ZPT mailing list ZPT@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zpt
