Retrieving multiple values from a Select Box

[dkn]

Hi,

I have a list of items that I want my users to be able to select multiple values from. I've set the list up no probs, and use the Multiple attribute to allow mulitple selections.

The question I have is how do I retrieve these values?.

Using the get method I get a querystring that looks like this in the address bar, where lstOutpost is the name of the Select box.

http://www.mysite.com/Opost.asp?lstOutpost=EFFPLT&lstOutpost=GAUGE

If I do a Outpost = request.querystring("lstOutpost&quot what value will be assigned to my variable Outpost?

Do I need to manually parse the querystring?...

How would it work using the Post method?

Any help greatly appreciated.

i think that you must code your own querystring() method.
you can find a lot of method already made for you on the net (exemple :

Then on the method, you will see what it the return type.
Your variable Outpost will be initialised with the return type of the querystring method
