There's not much to go on here, but my top two guesses are: 1. There are two elements in your form with the name publishRange 2. Something else is operating on the value of publishRange in your target Try dumping out REQUEST at a couple different places in your target... it may be quite instructive. If that doesn't help, try posting a minimal case where you can see the problem. HTH, Dylan At 05:29 PM 11/17/2002 +0100, you wrote:

Hi,

I'm a bit confused.

I have a Website with a select field. You can choose numbers between 7 an -7 (<option value="-7">). If the number is positive everything is fine, but if it is negative Zope behaves strange.

First I convert the string "-7" into an integer

publishRange = int(publishRange)

and then want to know whether it is positive or negative, but

if publishRange < 0:

doesn't react to it (if publishRange > 0: does, if publishRange is positive).

What am I doing wrong.
