<[EMAIL PROTECTED] /> Thanks to everyone who responded. Let me clarify on this: If I set my <html:select/> to use a size=?? and set multiple="true", I can indeed select multiple options. The problem is, when I set the size parameter to something like 10, I end up with a 10 items displayed in a rather large box (I know, this is how it works!). What I would rather have (and maybe I simply can't do it) is to have a single line displayed with a 'down arrow' (like what you would get without using the multiple="true" and with size="1"). When you clicked on the down arrow, the box would expand downward, and the user would then be able to select multiple options by holding down the CTRL key. Submitting the selection would send all of the selected options to my Action.
Does this make any more sense?
