Thanks Adam and Rebecca for the response, Adam I do have the listbox set up
to allow multiple selections:
<select name="lbxSelectedTheme" multiple size=5>
But because the user is adding items from one listbox into another, at the
time the form is submitted the items are not selected.
Apparently this code I'm trying to work with has worked properly in the
past, it sure won't work for me.
// Get selected themes
for (i=1; i< document.frmImageAdm.lbxSelectedTheme.length; i++) {
if (vThemes == "") {
vThemes =
document.frmImageAdm.lbxSelectedTheme.options[i].value
} else {
vThemes = vThemes + "," +
document.frmImageAdm.lbxSelectedTheme.options[i].value
}
}
document.frmImageAdm.hdnThemes.value = vThemes
Despite this above code, hdnThemes is always NULL when I try to reference
it, but maybe because OnSubmit hdnThemes is passed as NULL however, this
function SHOULD update it's value.
Thanks again for all the help, hopefully you can find your past code Adam.

Subject: Re: Javascript / Listbox Form Problem
I'll search for my page that does that but the gist of it is move the
items over then select all items onSubmit. The key to getting this to
work is make sure the second select box has the ability to select
multiple items.

list1 to the action page (using an "Add" or "-->" button), which inserts
eacho of the selected items to a db table, then return to the display page
with the selected items added to, or subtracted from, the list2. The user
can use a "Delete" or "<--" button to remove selected items from list2, and
it works the same way as the add button. They make their choices from list2,
select the Delete button, which submits to the action page, detects that the
Delete button was selected and loops over the list2 form members, deleting
them from the db table, and returns to the display page showing those items
gone from list2. Yes, that may seem like a lot of work, but I haven't
figured out any simpler way to do this kind of user interface. I hope that
makes sense.
