[Zope] Form processing in Zope

[Phil Harris]

Why don't you try this?

<dtml-if expr="ActionList == '1'">
   Do this
<dtml-elif expr="ActionList == '2'">
   Do that.
</dtml-if>

Notice the single quotes around '1' and '2', if you didn't coerce the
variables already then they're going to come in as strings.
