[Zope] Is directory context switching possible?

That works, thanks.
Now another question.
- -----------------------
When I click the "Vote" button on that page it can't find the link,
because the links are now relative to the parent directory instead of
to the "poll" directory.

Is there a way to change the current directory so that anything you
include will have it's links resolve correctly?  I would think that
<dtml-with> would do this, but it doesn't seem to. 


Im thinking the code should look like this, but don't know the right
commands.  
The dtml-change dir would be the one I don't know..  
It pushes and pops the current folder state (or context):

<dtml-changedir poll>
<dtml-with poll>        # this may be redundant...
   <dtml-var index_html>
</dtml-with>            # this may be redundant also...
</dtml-changedir>


(I know I *could* just go change the <a href>s in poll/index_html, 
 but what if some other directory were to include it...  i want
general purpose! )

Write me at kevn@vrac.iastate.edu

Thanks for helping this newbie.
Kevin

<dtml-with Squishdot>
  <dtml-with Poll>
    <dtml-var index_html_or_whatever>
  </dtml-with>
</dtml-with>

If you're really including index_html, watch out for recursive calls
to
standard_html_header.
