Problem 2: I have a select box, that I want people to be able to select multiple items from. The selecting and submission seems to work, but I can't get them to display in the editPersonFrom page. I got this list into the addSRPerson method by using "styles=[]" is this the right way to do it? Also, how to make it not freak out with a single selection. Do I force it into a list on the input form?
I don't know whether this is the same problem I had recently or not. But, anyway, for the <select ... multiple> tag, you are almost surely better off if you specify the ":list" switch in the name. That is, change NAME="styles" to NAME="styles:list". This way, it won't freak out when a single item is selected. The reason is: when a single item is selected and you don't have the ":list" suffix, the form returns a string instead of a list of one single string. I have no clue whether this is problem of HTML/Python/Zope... (I asked the question but got no answer, sorry.) <SELECT NAME="styles:list" size="4" multiple> <OPTION VALUE="" SELECTED> <dtml-in styles_list> <OPTION VALUE="<dtml-var sequence-item html_quote>"><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in styles_list> </SELECT> hope this works, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
