[Zope] stripping [] from a var

[Alexandre Ratti]

Hi Anders,


This looks like a Python list var. When several form fields have the same 
name their content is returned in a Python list. I suppose you're seeing 
the list content is raw form.

In a DTML method you can loop on the list with:

<dtml-in yourList>
    You value is: <dtml-var sequence-item>
</dtml-in>

I suppose you can do something similar in a Z SQL method.


HTH.

Alexandre
