reading all options of a select element in a form

[meenu24]

Hi,

When I submit the form, to the servlet my servlet should read all the options of the select element in the form. For this to happen user need not necessarily select all the options. Please let me know if there is a way we could do this.

Thanks for your time

The form will only submit the single option that was chosen. The rest of the data is not sent (so your servlet can't get it).

If you want to send all the options back, you could populate a hidden field containing all the data and access that server-side.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

thanks Baby Jeffy for a qiuck response. My options values are of two types, generated from DB and also some of them added from the other select element. In that case how do I keep the all the values in the hidden feild
