Assuming you have <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="xtype">, then your if statement needs to be <dtml-if "xtype=='1'"> (note the extra single quotes), which does a string comparison. Otherwise, you are comparing the ascii code of '1' with the ascii code, 1. They don't match. Alternatively, you could put <input type=checkbox value="1" name="xtype:int">, which will force the form field to be cast into an int. Or else you could have <dtml-if "_.int(xtype)==1">, which explicitly does the cast for you. --sam Borno Janekovic wrote:

Hi,

I'm not realy new into Zope but suddenly found a strange question. I'm not

shure where the problem is:

- on a form a user can choose a checkbox and the value is stored into xtype - in the next document I can access the value of xtype with <dtml-var xtype> the correct value is printed out. - but if I do a check like <dtml-if "xtype ==1"> I get no matching.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Borno
