I'm sure this must be easy, but I have been searching the lists and documentation for a couple of hours and could not find how to do it. What I want to do is get info from an HTML multiple-select list box that looks like: <select multiple Name="persons"> <!--#in mylist--> <option value="<!--#var index-->" > <!--#var firstname--> <!--#var lastname--></option> <!--#/in--> </select> Unfortunately, if there is only a single item selected, RESPONSE.person is a string, and if multiple items are selected, it is a list. I want to use <!--#in persons-->, but that does not work for string objects, so if a single value is selected, it bombs. I would not mind using an #if, but I cannot find the mechanism for finding the type of the RESPONSE.persons object. Any suggestions? --Jim Washington
