That makes sense. I still am having a syntax error, but a different one now,
it's complaining about the for loop.

15.             """,0);             <% 16.             for href, text in
vars.main_menu:             for href, text in vars.main_menu: 17.
                # Begin menu loop                 # Begin menu loop 18.
                        req.write("""             %> 19.
            <li><a href=\"""",0); req.write(str(href),0); req.write
("""\">""",0); req.write(str(text),0); req.write("""</a></li>
            <li><a href="<%=href%>"><%=text%></a></li> 20.
            """,0);             <% 21.             # End of menu loop
            # End of menu loop 22.                         req.write("""
            %>
What am I doing wrong this time?

Thanks,
