Loop Select for Selected Values

[Tim2525]

Hi All,

Here is my problem. I'm trying to get the value(s) from a select box-multiple which are selected and store them to a variable.

How would I do this? In my loop I'm seeing all items in the select box. I tried using venOption[venIndex].text but it only picked up the first value.

Here is what I have so-far:

...
var venOption = document.forms[frmName].venID.options;
var venIndex = document.forms[frmName].venID.selectedIndex;

var boxLength = document.forms[frmName].venID.length;
for(i=0; i<boxLength; i++) {
  alert("venSel is ... " + venOption[i].text);
}
...

TIA,
T

try this (untested)

var myForm = document.forms[frmName];
var mySel = myForm.elements['venID'];
var numOpts = mySel.options.length;

for ( var i = 0; i < numOpts; i++ ) {
    if ( mySel.options[i].selected )
        alert(mySel.options[i].value + ' is selected.');
}
