I dont know if this is the best approach, but I juste tested here and works.

(BUT, BE CAREFUL!! it can be used to crash your app) another solution may be better than the above, is to split the array as args and pass it separated. <script> var xyz= ['Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat']; args = xyz.join("/") $(function() { $("body").click(function(event) { ajax("{{=URL('default','mycontroller')}}"+args ,[],'target'); }); }); </script> the url will be called as /default/mycontroller/Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/'Fri/Sat in controller def mycrontroller(): array = request.args array[0] # "Sun" The second approach is better ans safe. -- -- Bruno Rocha [ About me: http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno ] [ Aprenda a programar: http://CursoDePython.com.br ] [ O seu aliado nos cuidados com os animais: http://AnimalSystem.com.br ] [ Consultoria em desenvolvimento web: http://www.blouweb.com ]
