[RESOLVED] Auto select in multiselect

[DedoMraz]

Hello.

I have one "simple"question.

How do I make "automatic" selection of all items in <select>. I know that name of this select must be name[] and the selection must be made with javascript. But have someone any particular suggestion, tips? 😕

Make a 1x1 pixel transparent onload.gif and insert it somewhere in your page.

<img src="onload.gif" onload="selectall()" />

Javascript:

// do some homework here
function selectall() {
           for length of select (loop) {
                         each select item.selected = true;
          }
}

just an idea.

Or just use HTML:

<select name="example" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1" selected="selected">Choice 1</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Choice 2</option>
</select>
