Dave,

Thanks for the help, but that is not quite what I am asking for.  My problem
arises when I try to figure out what elements were selected after I submit
the form.  Here is the situation.  I have one of those forms where you have
to select multiple "interests".  The value for each option is the primary
key for the interest in the database.  I need to know every value that is
selected so that I can put it in the database with multiple insert
statements.

Thanks,

Brandon Behrens

This puts the selected value at the top.  Put it at it's proper place in the
list
with CFIF's.

<SELECT NAME="blah" MULTIPLE>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="someQuery">
   <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="#output#">#output#
</CFOUTPUT>
   <OPTION VALUE="1">1
   <OPTION VALUE="2">2
   <OPTION VALUE="3">3
   <OPTION VALUE="4">4
</SELECT>

Hello All,

I am having a bit of trouble with a multiple select box.  Could someone
please tell me how I can get every element selected from a multiple select
box.  I tried string functions and they didn't work.  I tried array
functions and they didn't work.  I think the value gets passed as a list but
I am not sure how to manipulate it.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon Behrens
