Sebastian: if I remember correctly if you use a multiple selection field on a page when you submit the form the contents of the selected items on the field are sent via a comma delimited string, so you would just have to do $Array=split(",", $String) to retrieve all of the selected values of the form. This way you can still use javascript to manipulate your form and not worry about how many selections a user makes.
