[Zope] Getting an Error that I don't understand

Wed Apr 28 12:25:05 EDT 2004

Here is what the code looks like:

<html>
<body tal:define="userid request/userid | nothing">
<form tal:condition="userid">
<table repeat="result python: context.qUser(userid=userid)">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="userid" tal:attributes="value result/userid"
tal:content="result/userid">
</td>
</tr>
</table> 
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks, 
 Laura

I'm only guessing - an empty html tag would be somthing like a <br> or 
  <hr>.  Putting a tal:content within such a tag doesn't make any 
sense, becuase these tags don't surround content.

If this doesn't help, post the source of the page template that's 
producing this error.
