RE: [PHP] multiple select boxes

I just realized I forgot to address the second problem... To get everything from list2[] selected: 1. Use onSubmit to call a function, selectAll() for example. (You can send the name of the select box as an argument to make it more dynamic). 2. Write selectAll function to use getHandle function (that solved your first problem) to loop through all options, setting them to true. Hope this helps. med vänlig hälsning /Dana -----Original Message----- From: jpm@kefta.com [SMTP:jpm@kefta.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 7:29 PM To: billzeller@yahoo.com Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] multiple select boxes On Tue, 29 Aug 2000, Bill Zeller wrote: > The problem is that this script stops working when I > rename "list2" to "list2[]" (to allow for multiple > selects) the script stops working. > > Secondly, is there a way to get all the values in a > select box?

Hi Bill, Well I had the same problem a while ago. I was trying to create dynamic input fields on a form and then use some javascript to validate the data. However, you can't use "[]" on variable names on javascript, because the code would eventually look like this : writeln(this.document.form_name.inputfield[].value); and that's invalid. I couldn't find any way to get around this problem, so I just gave up and created input fields like inputfield_1, inputfield_2 and then do a dirty loop both on javascript and PHP to get the values. I'm not sure how you can change your javascript code to handle that, but it's worth a shot. Besides, javascript is just plain fun :) Regards, Joao -- Joao Prado Maia Web Developer Kefta.com, Inc
