Thank you very much Karen -
You clearly defined that problem for me and that fixed the issue. For
others who might run into the same problem, they would do well to
remember to add either __str__ or __uinicode__ as the case warrant:s:
{% ifequal foo.bar__str__ "foobar" %}
or
{% ifequal foo.bar__unicode__ "foobar" %}
Thanks again Karen
--------------------------
For anyone else who might be confused by this.
