The documentation for the new types is in the process of being added to the zope site. I added four new types : "default", "ignore_empty", "record", and "records". The "record" type works like this: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="person.name:record" SIZE="30"> The input tag for the "name" field is named "person.name:record:ignore_empty". The ":record" part of the name indicates to Zope that the field should be converted to a record before passing it to the published method. A record variable will be created called "person" and it will have an attribute called "name". o The "records" type returns a list of records. o The "default" type allows a specified value to be inserted when the form field is left blank. o The "ignore_empty" type skips over the variable rather than returning a null string as its value when the field is left blank. I hope this helps. Cathi
