Ok, got the solution

Subject:

Ok, I think there is a bug with the NotesXspDocument class. It seems to return the field value as a string with the brackets around it when you expect it to be an array. The way you can test this is try to return the "length" property, which will always be 1, indicating a single element.

So even if you explode the values or use a javascript split() and then @Implode them, the brackets are part of the first and last elements because they were appended to the string. So it looks like an array is being returned.

The solution is to use the NotesDocument class instead:

doc=document.getDocument(); //get the backend doc
@Implode(doc.getItemValue("fieldname"),"<BR>");

I'll throw out another option too. You can use a repeat control on a multi-value field and then use an Editbox in readonly mode to display each item in the list.
