lol I had originally tried that too. Nothing seems to work! I am thinking my
logic might be wrong from the start.
What I am doing is taking the request.POST.getlist('lookingfor') array[] and
storing it as a comma delimited string in the database (Textfield), then
returning the selected by plugging the array into the "initial" dictionary.
But nothing seems to be working :-(
