I wrote something like this select * from table where <dtml-in "('a', 'b', 'c')"> <dtml-let temp=sequence-item> colum like <dtml-sqlvar "'%' + _.string.strip(temp) + '%'" type=string> or </dtml-let> <dtml-if sequence-end> 1=2 </dtml-if> </dtml-in> This worked fine, but when I replaced <dtml-in "('a', 'b', 'c')"> with <dtml-in keyWords> and call this method from another page as <dtml-var expr="sqlMethod(keyWords=('a', 'b', 'c'))">, nothing returns. Why? I then try to pass a list directly using test feature, but no matter what I input it always tell me 'no string allowed in the dtml-in function'. What did I do wrong?
