Thank you Val, it works like a champ. I guess my confusion was when I did
type(request.vars.name) it showed me <type 'list'>. So, I didn't realize I
needed to change that to list again.
I am guessing the one line ids you did is
if (ids == isinsance(ids,basestring)):
ids = [ids]
else:
ids = ids
Thank you.
