Alexander Ha, that subject sometimes is the one thing I forget :) Thanks for the external method sugestion. I think I'll go with Ty's Terrific Tables. (A little Alliteration goes a long way :) Jason Spisak webmaster@mtear.com Alexander Staubo wrote:
[What's this subject line to do with your question?]
Sounds like an ideal use of TinyTables if there ever was one. I think performance will be excellent.
The alternative, which is likely slightly faster but not quite as elegant in terms of object-orientational succinctness and flexibility, is to write an External Method which returns a Python dictionary of the values you need. Eg.,
def GetMySelectLists(): return { 'apples': 'oranges', 'pears': 'bananas', [... more items here ...] }

Hey Zopesters,
I have large select lists that I need on my site and I was wondering if TinyTables is the best way to do an <!--#in--> tag insertion of all the possible values. It's not quite a uniqueValuesFor situation because there are some values which we don't want available. The list might be about 100-200 or so items long. Is that going to be to slow in a TinyTable?
All my best,
