I asked this a while ago, and while testing for type would be fun, the easy way to do what you want is to make the returned value a list, then work with it as a list always. something like: <SELECT MULTIPLE ... name=myselect:list > -- Jim Washington Hung Jung Lu wrote:

Hi,

In DTML, is there anyway of testing whether something is a string?

(This is because I am using the <SELECT MULTIPLE...> form in submitting a HTML form. For single choice, the object submitted is a string, for mulitple choices, the object submitted is a list of strings. It would be helpful if I could test the type of the submitted object.)
