Passing a list to itemswidget crashes

[Diogo Matsubara]

Steps to reproduce (using sample data):
1. Open http://answers.launchpad.dev/~name12/+answeredtickets?field.sort=foo&field.sort=bar
2. Crash like: OOPS-388D274

The issue seems to be that the search page has action="". This makes the windows CE browser appends the search parameters to the existing query string doubling every parameters.

I'll make action="" explicit and that will solve the problem.

There also an underlying problem with the Zope3 widget which is that if a list is pass to ItemsWidgetBase, it will crash like in the OOPS.

It should probably catch the TypeError in convertTokensToValue() and transform it into the appropriate exception for the widget system (probably ConversionError).

Rolled out with 1.79 on 2007/02/01.

I'll look into the Zope3 side of thing.

Raising importance as this is causing somewhat frequent OOPS.
