   Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

I don't know if it is something like this you mean:

self.document.form['test:list'].value = 'stuff to fill in';

or perhaps?

self.document.form['test:list'] = new Option("Red"+i,"color_red");

[Zope] Form data type coercion syntax and javascript

[Mayers, Philip J]

Not a problem per-se, just a query - how are people dealing with things like
this:








function populate(form) {
  for (var i=0;i<4;i++) {
form.test.options[i] = new Option("Red"+i,"color_red");
if (i == 0)
  form.test.options[i].selected = true;
  }
  return false;
}









If a user selects multiple values, of the dynamic list, Zope will coerce
them to a list when the form is input. *BUT*, if they select a single value,
it'll be a single string/integer. Normally, you'd do this:



But how do you access it from JavaScript then? I'm doing this:

function populate(form) {

  var list = form;

  for (var j=0;jhttp://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope
