My multiple value selection has comma-space in it

[TigerWood]

Probelm:
I select the following values from a list box (name = ListValue):

Smith, John
Hudson, Alice

strSelectValue = Request.Form("ListValue&quot

The strSelectValue returns:
"Smith, John, Hudson, Alice"

I get 4 values instead of two. How can I handle this problem?

Thank you for your help.

could you post your code to understand better....

Don't use commas in your values on the client side. Pick something like a "/" instead. Use Replace( ) to change the "," to... say "\", then use Replace to change the "/" to ",", finally Split( ) on "\".

<SELECT NAME=&quot;ListValue&quot; MULTIPLE>
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;Smith/ John&quot;>Smith, John
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;Hudson/ Alice&quot;>Hudson, Alice
<OPTION VALUE=&quot;Fancypants/ Mercedes&quot;>Fancypants, Mercedes
</SELECT>

Messy, but that's life.

Anyone got a better idea?

Thank you very much for your guideline. This is good enough - unless others have better idea.

Dim intLoop
For intLoop = 1 To Request.Form("ListValue&quot.Count
Response.Write Request.Form("ListValue&quot(intLoop)
Next
