I dont understand this. You can only select one item from a selct box(?).

So you wants to store them in a "history" array, then??
Is that what you want to do? Is that what you *need* to do?

Why don't you uses check boxes or radiation buttons instead?
It seams more proper to use them in this situation... or?
