Forms

I have a quick question. I have a form and I am using <select name="forms" multiple=3>
<option value ="form1">FORM 1
<option value ="form2">FORM 2
<option value ="form3">FORM 3
</select>

Why isn't it working? When I select 2 items it displays only 1 item.

Help! Thanks!

Hi explore:

I had the same question as you, and here's what I found:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey...ple_select.html

Hope it helps,

by the way, (if you're familiar with PHP)... do you know how to process your form using PHP?

Thanks

Thanks for the website referral. I don't use PHP to process my forms..I use perl...sorry. Go to the PHP forum..there's alot of help in that room.

Does someone have another website referrel for this problem I am having with multiple select. The one listed here doesn't appear to be working for me.

Thanks!

When you use multiple selects it send it like this:
"forms=form1&forms=form3" ect...

so you'll need to push an array with each one of the "forms" that come into the script. Then you can just use a foreach with the array to get the info back out of it.

Try
<select name="forms[]" multiple=3>

then test for $forms[1]
$forms[2] etc (in PHP).

the webmonkey page should be fine for javascript solution.

Since he said he was using CGI, my solution works and is the only sure thing.
