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.

Any suggestions?

Try: <select Name="persons:list"> That will make ZPublisher marshal it into a list, even if it has only one item. I left the 'multiple' out 'cuz I've never heard of it. :) -Michel
