sequence-item is python for sequence minus item, use _['sequence-item']==category instead -- Andy McKay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander M Hottenstein" <ahottens@engin.umich.edu> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 2:14 PM Subject: [Zope] Form OPTION and Display of SELECTED Value I have the following code to display options, one of which has already been selected: <input type="hidden" name="categories" size="35" value="Feature Bytes Faculty Students Research Alumni Giving"> <SELECT name="category"> <dtml-in categories> <dtml-if "sequence-item==category"> <OPTION value="<dtml-var sequence-item>" selected><dtml-var sequence-item></OPTION> <dtml-else> <OPTION value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"><dtml-var sequence-item></OPTION> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </SELECT> This should display a list of the categories, with the correct one selected. This does not work however thanks to a NameError. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be the correct code? - Alex
