So: multi-select 1 is the list of unselected options and should (techinally) not be submitted multi-select 2 holds the currently selected options, but they're not "selected" per se as th euse can do what they want. This should also (techinally) not be submitted. multi-select 3 is hidden and is named after the element (i.e. should be submitted). It should hold all of the selected options and the options should all be selected. This should be fairly easy to add. -- Justin Patrin
