Thank you. I have another question: How do I get checkbox and associated data from a selection box located next to the checkbox? The HTML form does not allow me to store a dictionary with keys. Does it? Thanks a lot for your help. Enrica

<dtml-if expr="_.same_type(standardkit_cost, 'Test')"> ^^ You need to specify the name space.

Dear all,

I have a problem checking if an input from a form is a string or not and then change it into a float. The Zope code I have written is as follows but it does not work.

<dtml-if expr="same_type(standardkit_cost, 'Test')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set ('standardkit_cost', _.float(standardkit_cost))">

</dtml-if>
