[daisy] Strangeness with multivalue-fields

[Marc Portier]

Caleb,

I haven't tested this myself but I would suspect the mild difference
between javascript and java arrays to be causing this.
(So it's an array in javascript land, but when passed to the Java API it
is seen as one single javascript native object)


here is how you can create a java string array from within javascript

var stringClass = java.lang.Class.forName("java.lang.String");
var vals = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(stringClass, 1);
vals[0]="X5";


pls try this out and report back

HTH,
