Your solution is not the equivalent of the dtml-in here/get_all_languages returns a list of tuples: [('aa', 'Afar'), ('ab', 'Abkhazian'), ('af', 'Afrikaans'), ..... ] and in dtml-in sequence-item = Afar and sequence-key = "aa" for the first item. repeat/lang/index returns the index-number which is "0" for the first item. I just found the right solution: <td><select name="languages:list" size="5" multiple> <span tal:define="langs here/get_all_languages" tal:omit-tag=""> <option tal:repeat="lang langs" tal:attributes="value python: lang[0]; selected python: test(lang[0] in here.getLanguages(), 1,0)" tal:content="python: lang[1]">German </option> I thought I had tried that before, but apparently not. I still don't like the python: lang[1] there should be something like: repeat/lang/1 --On Montag, Februar 10, 2003 11:24:14 +0000 Felix Ulrich-Oltean <felix@chaptereight.com> wrote:

what is the equivalent of this DTML snipplet in TAL ?

<dtml-in get_all_languages> <option value="<dtml-var sequence-key>" size=40 <dtml-if "_['sequence-key'] in getLanguages()">selected</dtml-if>><dtml-var sequence-item></option> </dtml-in>

Something like:

<option size="40" tal:repeat="lang here/get_all_languages" tal:attributes="value repeat/lang/index; selected python:repeat['lang'].index in \ here.getLanguages() and 'yes' or nothing" tal:content="lang">Language</option>

More about this in the ZPT reference, Appendix (C) of the Zope Book: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition

The sequence stuff is covered under the "repeat" statement.
