... Yes, that is a list, but not the list I'm looking for. What I want is an exhaustive list. If the person selected every other checkbox in the above example, starting with the first one, I want zope to return a six element list like below.
['1','','3','','5',''] Zope cannot do this for you without application knowledge:
As of the HTML spec, a checkbox is only successful, if it is checked. Unsuccessfull form controls do not contribute to the form result set. Zope has no chance to detect them from the request data. Your application (Python Script) can have a list of possible checkbox values and build the list you want from that available in the request.
