Well that was an edited code. Infact, I was not returning any qty in my original code. That was mistake.
My Server side code seems to be not taking name parameters. When I rename the parameters to parameters[], POST seems to get all selected values other wise I get the last selected value. $(#parameters).change seems not getting recognized by Jquery.
