update a list box from a dropdown when button clicked 1

[idono]

Obviously I'm new. I have a dropdown box that is populated from a database. Now when I click a button I would like the selected to display in a listbox. This may be better handled with a multiselect, but I don't know how to do that either. The idea is to select multiple names and then pass it to the next page.

Any ideas?

Use a multiple select - this is what it was designed for!

<select multiple name=&quot;colour&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;>
  <option value=&quot;red&quot;>Red</option>
  <option value=&quot;blue&quot;>Blue</option>
  <option value=&quot;green&quot;>Green</option>
  <option value=&quot;yellow&quot;>Yellow</option>
</select>

On the receiving page, you will get a comma-delimited list in the Request.Form collection:

<%
cols = Request.Form(&quot;colour&quot;)
Response.Write cols
%>

Might result in this:

red, blue, yellow --James
