Checkbox list question

[Okke Tijhuis]

Hi,

I'm using the Checkbox list from the contributed tags. I'm running into one little problem with it.
When one value is checked from the list it returns the value as a String. When multiple values
are checked the value is returned as an LString (String array). What is the best way to handle
both outcomes (without resorting to a type check) in the same way? I'm probably overlooking
and easy solution.

At first I didn't know 2 different types were returned so when I used ".each" on the returned value
in the case of one selected value (for instance "82") it uses "8" and "2", not "82".

Regards,

Okke

I find command-objects/data-binding the best approach. Note that the
above problem occurs with all multi-valued parameters.
