Hi All,
After much searching and head scratching I post you this!
I can't seem to find a generic way to handle multiple select data. The
function I use to receive form values will only pass the first selected
value from a multiple select. I have pasted part of the form and the
function below.
Thanks for any pointers,
Vince
// Example selectbox
<select name="countryarray[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="AL">Albania</option>
<option value="GY">Alderney</option>
<option value="AS">American Samoa</option>
<option value="AD">Andorra</option>
<option value="AG">Antigua and Barbuda</option>
<option value="AM">Armenia</option>
<option value="AW">Aruba</option>
</select>
// Form Function
function getformvalues (fobj, valfunc){
var str = "";
aok = true;
var val;
//Run through a list of all objects within the form.
for(var i = 0; i < fobj.elements.length; i++){
if(valfunc) {
if (aok == true){
val = valfunc
(fobj.elements[i].value,fobj.elements[i].name);
if (val == false){
aok = false;
}
}
}
if (fobj.elements[i].type == "checkbox") {
if (fobj.elements[i].checked) {
str += fobj.elements[i].name + "=" +
escape(fobj.elements[i].value) + "&";
} else {
str += fobj.elements[i].name + "=&";
}
} else if (fobj.elements[i].tagName == "SELECT") {
var sel = fobj.elements[i];
str += sel.name + "=" +
sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value + "&";
} else {
str += fobj.elements[i].name + "=" +
escape(fobj.elements[i].value)
+ "&";
}
}
//Then return the string values.
return str;
}
