Compile all selections to a string

[Nebooaw]

Hi, how can i make a selection from a form field (or multiple selections) create a string of all the values seperated with an "or", then display it?

Kindest regards.

are you talking about a select element with a property of multiple? When do you want to "display" this list, and how would you like to display it? In another field, or just text?

Hi, i want to be able to display the text on the screen / alert also write the entire string to an asp session variable.

hope this helps. how would it work with multiple selections from several different selection boxes?

regards.

Ideally this functionality would be handled on the ASP end, not the JavaScript end. JavaScript is disabled in arguably 10% of all browsers. ASP is disabled in 0% of them. You'll lose 10% of your data in a public website.

ASP will allow you to loop through the select value array and build the string if need be.

Hmmm, do you have an example in asp? I could look at? Would prefer to use asp as the rest of the project is all asp.

kindest thanks.
