I need help with saving a select box value. When multiple items are selected in my form, and then inserted into a SQL server, it is saved as a string that looks like a list. I have tried to specify the data type in name value, none of which change the stored value in the database. This may not be a problem if I only knew how to display the list from the returned database value. _________________________________________ Here is the form object(it is generated dynamically from a dtml method so the size changes): <select name="PeopleInvolved" multiple> <option>aperson</option> <option>bperson</option> <option>cperson</option> <option>dperson</option> </select> _________________________________________ In the database field( a text data type in sql 8) it saves like so: Insert into table (PeopleInvolved) values (<dtml-sqlvar PeopleInvolved type="string">) ['aperson','bperson','cperson'] _________________________________________ When I do a select statement in a zsql method it returns the same value: select * from table ['aperson','bperson','cperson'] _________________________________________ And to display the results in html is do this: <table> <dtml-in sqlMethod> <dtml-in expr="_.string.split(PeopleInvolved)"> <tr><td><dtml-var sequence-item></td></tr> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> </table> __________________________________________ Which show like so: ['aperson', 'bperson', 'cperson'] __________________________________________ If I just use <dtml-in PeopleInvolved> I get an error about not using strings in an "in" tag. So my question is, How do I save it? OR How do I display it? Without having the brackets and quotes? Thanks for any help you have! Greg Fischer sysman@tecghroupinc.com
