RE: [PHP-DB] Multiselect List

That's not the problem. The problem is referring to the listbox via
javascript. It doesn't like the format: formName.listBoxName[].value it
has no problem with formName.listBoxName.value but then PHP doesn't seem
to handle it correctly.

Place the countries in array.
Name the select with your array name.
 
<select name="<?=$yourarrayname?>" >
 
and for the <option> use as value the keys from the array.Where your
keys may be the IDs of the countires from the db.

Hey Guys,

I'm populating a multiselect list with countries from my
database. PHP
seems to require the name contain array brackets, ie. myName[].
The
problem I'm having is referring to the select list via
javascript when
the name contains the brackets. Anyone know how?

Thanks.

Ryan,
you've had a couple of solutions that will work.  The macromedia
function, and the direct reference to the element -
document.formName.elements['listBoxName[]'].  For me the direct
reference to the element is the most simple, and you can access the
properties in the normal way e.g.
document.formName.elements['listBoxName[]'].value

Is there somethime more that you need??
