You should have posted this on Zope's mailing-list. <OT> There's a mechanism in Zope to handle this case, cf section "Passing Parameters to Scripts" in: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/DTML.stx/ScriptingZope.stx The mechanism is based on 'decorating' forms fields names with type annotation. In you case, this would look like: <form name='xxx' action='yyy' method='POST'> <tal:repeat repeat="code deptcodes"> <input type="checkbox" name='selecteddeptcodes:list' value='' tal:attribute="value code" /> </tal:repeat> <!-- rest of the form here --> </form> </OT> HTH -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
