Hi, I am almost new to Zope and HTML-Forms, so I have run into some difficulties. I have just a problem with a lines property of an object that should be edited. I use a form with hidden fields (for the lines property of the object there is a <input name="abc" type="hidden" values="<dtml-var user_list>">). When the user now clicks the edit button the action (let's call it action_html) should be executed. In action_html I'd like to show the user the current values (for the list it must be a multiple select) and give him/her the chance to change the properties. But how can I request the list from the previous form? I always get a list including one string (which is a list itself), like this ["['user1','user2','user3']"]. How can I simply forward the variable/value from the one form to the other? Or is it possible to request the object properties from the given id? Besides that, is there a simple solution to select the given list values in a multiple select tag? I have a workaround that looks like this: <SELECT name="newBenutzerliste:list" size="8" width="16" multiple> <dtml-in get_valid_userids> <dtml-let seqi=sequence-item> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sel',0)"> <dtml-in Benutzerliste> <dtml-if expr="_['seqi']==_['sequence-item']"> <OPTION selected value="<dtml-var sequence-item html_quote>"><dtml-var sequence-item></OPTION> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sel',1)"> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> <dtml-if sel> <dtml-else> <OPTION value="<dtml-var sequence-item html_quote>"><dtml-var sequence-item></OPTION> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> </SELECT> Juergen
