I've been struggling with trying to pass a list though a form on one page (method1) to a another page (method2). Now it sounds pretty straight forward, but for some reason I cannot get it to work. Here's what I have for method1: <form action=method2 method=post> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myIDS',[])"> <dtml-in mySQL_query> <dtml-call "myIDS.append(idFromQuery)"> </dtml-in> <input TYPE="hidden" name="myIDS:list" value=" <dtml-var myIDS> "> <input type="Submit" VALUE=" Submit "> </form> Then in method2 I just put the REQUEST to see what got passed: form myIDS [" ['8', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7'] "] As you can see, myIDS got turned into a ONE item list that contains a string that LOOKS like a list. What have I missed? I think I remember doing this before with no problems. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time. Oh yeah, I figured out a way to turn that string into a list using string.replace to remove the brackets and then string.split on the commas to turn it into a workable list. I don't know about any of you, but to me that seems like way too much work for something that I know can be done a lot simpler. ------- Colyn Brown _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
