Trying to generate a list of files by passing a simple list into this template (it fails):

<html py:strip="True" xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/">
<select multiple name="files" id="files" >
    <py:for each="file in flist">
        <option value="${file}">${file}</option>
    </py:for>
</select>
</html>

If I remove the "multiple" from the "select" line (line 2) it works, but I do not have the correct control.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Floyd

Genshi templates are real XML, not HTML. In XML an attribute without a value
"multiple" is invalid.

So you can do something like
multiple="multiple"

Generally for attributes without value in HTML check what the XHTML form is.

Thank you for the insight. It never occurred to me to put a bogus attribute in, but it works great.
