Multi Select Combo Box 1

[Deltaflyer]

On the click of a button i need to be able to select several entries out of a multiple combo box containing hundreds, can anybody point me to a working version of this theory or could you help me out?

I have tried to select them individually and i only end up with the last one selected.%-( It's driving me round the bend. s-)

Thanks, DeltaFlyer

Have I got your question all wrong or is this not just a case of specifying the the select box is a multiple one.
i.e.
<SELECT MULTIPLE NAME=&quot;mySelect&quot;>
.
.
.
</SELECT>

I have specified the combobox as a multiple,
<select multiple size=5 style='FONT-SIZE: 8px; FONT-FAMILY=MS Sans Serif;' name=status >

but i need to be able to select multiple entires via javascript.
i.e.
document.form.status.options[1].selected
and
document.form.status.options[2].selected
and
et cetera.

Hope this helps, DeltaFlyer

This worked for me:

function selectMulti()
	{
	document.test.testSelect.options[0].selected = true; 
	document.test.testSelect.options[2].selected = true;
	document.test.testSelect.options[4].selected = true;
	document.test.testSelect.options[6].selected = true;
	document.test.testSelect.options[8].selected = true;
	}
