Thanks Charlie... I would reference the 2nd listbox it's self if I knew how? I'm not sure how I can reference the elements of the 2nd list box without them actualy being highlighted or selected when the form is submitted? Please let me know if you know how to do this, if not I'll try and figure out how to fix that javascript loop.
Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 3:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Javascript / Listbox Form Problem just out of curiousity...why not reference the 2nd list box directly rather than try and manipulate a hidden form field?
