[ZWeb] Highliting data from multiple selection list

[Mike Tran]

I've tried the  split method but it did not  worked and I get an "object has 
no attribute 'split' " error if agency_selected is blank. So, how do i turn a 
string into a list?

Here's my <dtml-var agency_selected>:

['Agua Caliente Gaming Commission Spa Casino', 'Barona Band of the Capitan 
Grande of Diegueno Miss', 'Bay Mills Indian Community Gaming Commission']

Thanks,
