FWIW, using the following:

[% USE CGI %]

[% CGI.start_form %]
[% CGI.popup_menu( Name   => 'show_words',
                   Values => [ 'Yes', 'No' ] ) %]
[% CGI.submit %]
[% CGI.end_form %]

I get:

<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<select name="show_words" >
<option value="Yes">Yes</option>
<option value="No">No</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name=".submit" />
</form>

No need to force scalar context or a join.  This is with TT v. 2.15 and
TT::P::CGI v. 2.67.

&gt; &gt; Here is what I have written: &gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [% CGI.start_form %] &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [% CGI.popup_menu( Name&nbsp;&nbsp; =&gt; 'show_words', &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Values =&gt; [ 'Yes', 'No' ] ) %] &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [%

 returns multiple values in list context. It's untested but you might try: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[% CGI.end_form.join('') %] cheers nic _______________________________________________ templates mailing list
