I have a Select list that has a bunch of entries. I want the user to select multiple entries and press a button. I have used Selectbox.value but it only seems to give me the first one that is selected. How do I get the rest of the values that have been selected? Is there a way that I can just grab them all appended already? This has been bugging me for a while.

Hello, shaddow.

I like your demonstration. But I find adding a declaration help me to resolve a little bug. Do you have the same feature in your browser as mine?

function doVB
Dim i
for i=0 to 8
if select1.options(i).selected = true then
msgbox select1.options(i).value
end if
next
end function

If i let the i variable undeclared is because in vb script u dont need to declare a variable before using unless u are using Option Explicit directive. at least i know that will work in ie3.0 or more... ________

Hello again.

That bit I understand. It's natural. But the &quot;weird&quot; thing is that if you click on the jscript button to verify, then after that, when you try to click on the vbscript button, you, well I, get the runtime error on the variable i. Could you verify it on you box?
No picky, just want to ascertain a feature.

Thanks for sugestion... It was a litlle mistake, usualy a declare the variable in javascript part, but i've been forgotten.
All i had to do is to declare in javascript part the i cuz that is better then declare it in vbscript.
for(var i=0;i<=8;i++)

Thanks again... tsuji ________
