Re: html:select and submit
What are you actually trying to send? The selected value or the index
of the selected item? I also note you have multiple=true... so you
expect that more than one can be selected? I'm not sure if that has a
bearing on the selectedIndex (I could see where it might), and even if
it does, the handler code wouldn't seem to account for that.

I thought I had licked this problem - but it only works with Firefox!
I have an html:select tag that, when a user selects an option, a
submit() is forced through a javascript call.
The JSP code is:
html:select property=selectedAvailableBeans size=12 multiple=true
...
onclick=handleClick(this)/
The javascript code:
function handleClick(obj, prefix) {
var F_Obj = obj.form;
index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;
...
F_Obj.submit();
}
This works fine in Firefox, but with IE, the index value is always -1.
Can anyone help me with the proper way to post the results of a
selection without requiring the user to depress a select button?
Thanks,

Re: html:select and submit
You're right - the multiple=true was wrong, but that was essentially
ignored since I am capturing the onclick event. What I want to send is
the index to use in extracting the appropriate info from the underlying
collection.
Anyhow, what I am wanting to do is capture the selected index, then
issue a submit() request. Ironically, if I have this:
index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;
index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;
the second assignment (sometimes!) captures the correct index value.
Again, this race condition only occurs when using IE.

This is a well-known issue. While one would hope that the HTML event
processing models would be consistent across all browsers, that is
hardly the case. While we patiently wait for that to happen, you
should trigger the handler with an onchange event, rather than an
onclick, whose more explicit semantics will ensure that you have the
correct selectedIndex in your Javascript handler.
The saving grace here being that even conceptually, when dealing with
select elements, you are *almost* always interested in changes, not
clicks.

In a multiple select, selectName.selectedIndex will always be the
index of the *first* selection, if there are one or more (or -1 if
there are none).

Thank you, Rahul. This *is* the problem.
Much regards (and much better sleep this weekend!)...

Cool, that's what I thought but wasn't sure, you saved me from having to test it :) I think Mike has the answer I wa about to give as well... onChange should do the trick.
