Re: Getting Multiple HTML Select values from a posted form

[pranav kumar]

Hi,
     You Can do one thing.
     Let us suppose that You have 3 select box.
    Now Please give same name to all of these 3 Select Box. Let's Say
'select'.
    Now when you get the value of 'select' by String
myVar=request.getParameter("select");
    Then 'myVar' gives you values like myVar="1,2,3". (Here 1 is for select
box 1, 2 is for select box 2 and so on......);
    I think that It'll Helpful for u.
