The "tal:attribute" tag lets you set the attributes of an HTML element. If you look at the examples in the Zope book (The latest and greatest is at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition), the example is of an "href" attribute being set: - <a href="/sample/link.html" tal:attributes="href here/sub/absolute_url"> So, the first question might be "how should I put my friends name in bold?". I'm not sure this is a great example, because bold is a tag, not an attribute. However, let's say you have decided to use CSS, and so you want to set the class attribute. A frequent case in which a class is set as an attribute is setting a different class for odd and even rows: - <tr tal:define="oddrow repeat/item/odd" tal:attributes="class python:test(oddrow, 'oddclass', 'evenclass')"> In this example, a variable is defined ("oddrow") to hold the value being tested (it could be where you define your friends name). Then the "tal:attributes" expression sets the value of the "class" attribute to a value based on a test of the value in the variable. Translating this into your use-case, you would need to set a variable to true/false by testing for your friends name, and then set the class attribute based on that. If the true/false variable was "IsFriend", you might do (untested): - <span tal:attributes="class python:test(IsFriend, 'friend_class', 'stranger_class')"> Your data </span> ...such that if the variable were true you would get: - <span class="friend_class"> Your data </span> HTH -- Regards, PhilK Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public key: http://www.xfr.co.uk Voicemail & Facsimile: 07092 070518 "You'll find that one part's sweet and one part's tart: say where the sweetness and the sourness start." - Tony Harrison _______________________________________________ ZPT mailing list ZPT@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zpt
