Method Summary Object getNewValue() Object getOldValue() why don't you just try var newvalues = event.getNewValue(); I'm assuming now that this is an array in the multiselect case. If that doesn't work... let me know.

In a form (say myform.xml) I have two fields--both dropdowns. One is multi-select, the other not. The multiselect field is as below: <fd:multivaluefield id="MULTI" required="false"> <fd:datatype base="string"/> <fd:selection-list> <fd:item value="Cat"/> <fd:item value="Dog"/> <fd:item value="Mouse"/> </fd:selection-list> <fd:on-value-changed> <javascript> debug("Came here 1"); var value = event.source.value; debug("value is: " + value); </javascript> </fd:on-value-changed> </fd:field> The other (no multi-select) is as follows: <fd:field id="SINGLE" required="false"> <fd:datatype base="string"/> <fd:selection-list> <fd:item value="Lion"/> <fd:item value="Tiger"/> <fd:item value="Bear"/> </fd:selection-list> <fd:on-value-changed> <javascript> debug("Came here 2"); var value = event.source.value; debug("value is: " + value); </javascript> </fd:on-value-changed> </fd:field> Then in my log, when I select multiple values (say Cat and Mouse) in the first and a single value (say Tiger) in the second I get: 10/09/2013 16:16:00 PM: DEBUG: Came here 1 10/09/2013 16:16:00 PM: DEBUG: value is: [Ljava.lang.Object;@8c3fe4 10/09/2013 16:16:00 PM: DEBUG: Came here 2 10/09/2013 16:16:00 PM: DEBUG: value is: Tiger Question: how do I get the actual values that the user chose (say Cat and Mouse) in the multi-value field? Should I use a different method than the one I used for the single select field and which seems to work?
