Multiple Select Menu

[dcomartin]

I have a HTML select menu that allows multiple selects

Example:

<select name="myselect[]">...</select>

The problem I have is in order to get all of the selected values, i need to add the [] to the end of the name, this causes some issues with the javascript i have.

Once they press submit, I need to select ALL of the options, this is in javascript:

for (i=0; i < form.myselect[].length; i++) {
form.myselect[].options.selected = true;
}

This causes a JS error, because its looking for an array of myself, but its not its just the name. Anyone else have this proble, and found a work around?

Try using:

for (i=0; i < form.['myselect[]'].length; i++) {
form.['myselect[]'].options.selected = true;
}

That will work most of the time , but I can't guarantee it. Give it a try and see if it suits your purposes
