It doesn't *behave* like a list. It **IS** a list. I know that people have already pointed you to the documentation, where getvalue is documented to return either a string or a list, depending on how many values there are in the form. So, yet again, here is the documentation: http://docs.python.org/3/library/cgi.html READ IT. Here is an extract: [quote] In the previous section, you learned to write following code anytime you expected a user to post more than one value under one name: item = form.getvalue("item") if isinstance(item, list): # The user is requesting more than one item. else: # The user is requesting only one item. [end quote] Read the rest of the docs. Don't ask any more questions until you have read them. Then, if anything is still unclear, you can point to a section of the docs and say "I don't understand this". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
