data from select box to select box (Using Javascript)

Katmando

I have two selctboxes (box1[] and box2[]) And I am using javascript to move data from one box to the other. It starts out with data from the db all in box1[] then the user moves some to box[] but when the for is submited box2[] appears to be empty.

Javascript is totally foriegn to me and I was wondering if that data in box2[] is not actually put in box2[] when submitted but kept into some javascript varible?

If so how do I pass this data when submited.

This is the javascript I am using http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/selectbox/

Thank you

Whatever is in box 2 will be made available to PHP. Or you could create a hidden field and put the data there.

A bit old, but check out http://www.irt.org and the JavaScript FAQs. Lots and lots of info regarding forms and list boxes...

Well That is what I thought but it does not seem to work.

here is the html

<select  size='10' ondblclick=moveSelectedOptions(document.forms[0]['team[]'],document.forms[0]['nteam[]'],false); name='team[]' id='team[]' multiple='multiple'>
<option value='1'>Jon Doe</option>
<option value='4'>Jane Doe</option>
<option value='5'>Don Duck</option>
<option value='6'>Mic Mouse</option>
</select>
<input type='button' class='formButton' name=''  id='' value='ADD->' onClick=moveSelectedOptions(document.forms[0]['team[]'],document.forms[0]['nteam[]'],false); />
<input type='button' class='formButton' name=''  id='' value='<-DEL' OnClick=moveSelectedOptions(document.forms[0]['nteam[]'],document.forms[0]['team[]'],false); />
<select  size='10' ondblclick=moveSelectedOptions(document.forms[0]['nteam[]'],document.forms[0]['team[]'],false); name='nteam[]' id='nteam[]' multiple='multiple'>
</select>

nteam[] appears to be empty when submited.

Thanks for the link I will check it out.
