hi tony, you can build your list with the following sort of sequence: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('f_errors',[])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('f_errors',f_errors+[error value])"> where "error values" is the value returned from whatever it is your are calling it with. your <input> statement can remain the same. ciao! greg.

I've been looking for the preferred way to send a list through a form to another DTML document.
What I'm trying to do is something like this.
<form name="jumpform" method="post" action="pg_errors"> <input type="hidden" name="f_errors:list" value="<dtml-var f_errors>"> </form>
Where f_errors contains a list of strings which may contain characters (including >'s and "'s) which destroy this form quickly. I have not been able to determine what format the value="" field should take in order for this form to send a list. Can someone clarify how this value="" field should be created so that my calling document recieves data capable of being reconstructed into a list?
NOTE: jumpform is javascript submitted by a custom header.
