simple question about request.getParameter();

[Guest_imported]

I have a form posting multiple pieces of data from a multiple select list...

for example: using the GET method, the string would look like this:

receivingPage.jsp?selectList=value1&selectList=value2&selectList=value3

I can do:

String values = request.getParameter("selectList"

out.print(values);

and all I will get is:

value1

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

hi

you'd better use the method :

public java.lang.String[] getParameterValues(java.lang.String name)

if a parameter name has more than one value...

[oldRoot]

selectList=value1
selectList=value2
selectList=value3

I wonder if is it possible to pass many times the same variable with different value as parameter.

if you succeded with that code could you post a snippet for me to view.

thanks
