Hi,
 
Thanks, that works just fine :)
Any idea why the other one didn't?

hello,
did you try isinstance(val,str) ?

	Aah, restricted code :-) You can't access all attributes, and some
	other magic occurs.
	Sometimes, it's not homogeneous to current Python. I don't know about
	lists, but I do know that you can't use 'set' (appeared in 
	python 2.4).

	Anyway, I think that if you explicit specify type your input  in the
	html <input name=l"ist:boxname"> then you should get a list no matter
	what.
	I'm not 100% sure, but you should give it a try.
