Hi Anders, This looks like a Python list var. When several form fields have the same name their content is returned in a Python list. I suppose you're seeing the list content is raw form. In a DTML method you can loop on the list with: <dtml-in yourList> You value is: <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> I suppose you can do something similar in a Z SQL method. HTH.

Hello!

I have a form with a number of checkboxes (with the same name attribute). When the form is submitted I get a var in the form of:

var = [checkboxvalue1, checkboxvalue2, checkboxvalue3....]

I want to make a <dtml-in> loop (in a ZSQL method) using these as values. As far as I have understood, I then have to strip the [ ] from the var. How do I do this?
