Consider a form:

<form action="Post"> <select name="Values" multiple> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> </select> ...

I have the request handling stuff working 100%, except for the case when the user selects only a single value. This seems to be because Zope converts result values to a list. So, if the user selects multiple values, form.Values becomes a list, like:

['A', 'B', 'C']

But if the user selects a single value, form.Values becomes a single value, like

'A'

How do I effectively and foolproofly handle this sort of case?

<form action="Post"> <select name="Values:list" multiple> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> </select> will allways make 'Values' a list. -mICHEL
