Re: Getting Multiple HTML Select values from a posted form

[Ricky Sheaves]

Yes, this is correct. But the return value is in the form of an
Enumeration, each entry of which can be cast to a String... (And
usually used in a getParameter() call for single name/value pairs if
need be...)

Just don't count on the names within that Enumeration coming back in
any certain order; it is completely arbitrary.
