[Zope] Passing a list through a form?

[ghaley@mail.venaca.com]

	hi tony,

	you can build your list with the following sort of sequence:

	<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('f_errors',[])">
	<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('f_errors',f_errors+[error value])">

	where "error values" is the value returned from whatever it is
your are calling it with.  your <input> statement can remain the same.

	ciao!
	greg.
