Thanks to the couple of guys who responded to the original plea! I'm now in a position to expand the question further. I'm using the <SELECT> tag to construct a user entered list, and therefore I want to capture the whole list when submitted, if I change the SELECT to include MULTIPLE the user can POST/GET more than one of the options, but how can this be done without all the options being selected? There must be a better way of doing this, suggestions please?
