Hi guys....

Let say i have a list box and i want to display all value in the list box regardless of selected or not. How to do that?

I hope that it is not possible to get the value unless you select the list box items.

If any other way is possible let me know.

What do you mean by "...display all value in the list box regardless of selected or not." ??

Try this code

<HTML>
<BODY>
<SELECT size=6 id="list1" name="list1" multiple>
<OPTION value="1">1
<OPTION value="2">2
<OPTION value="3">3
<OPTION value="4">4
<OPTION value="5">5</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<br>
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="doAdd()">
<br>
<SELECT size=6 id="list2" name="list2">
</SELECT>
<br>
<input type="button" value="Show Value" onclick="doShow()" id=button1 name=button1>
<div name=div1 id=div1></div>
</BODY>
<script language="javascript">

function doAdd()
{
for(i=0;i<list1.length;i++)
{
if(list1.options(i).selected)//see what element is selected
{
var list1value=list1.options(i).value;
list1.remove(i);
var listelem=document.createElement("OPTION&quot

;
listelem.text=list1value;
listelem.value=list1value;
list2.add(listelem);
i=-1;//try again from begining of list to see if selected
};
};

};
function doShow()
{
var values="";
for(i=0;i<list1.length;i++)
{
alert(values+=list1.options(i).value+"\n&quot

;
};
document.all.div1.innerText=values;

}
</script>
</HTML>
