Hi, I have the following problem: I have 2 listboxes (select boxes) - Input and output. The input box is populated when the jsp is loaded. At this point the output listbox( select box) is empty. The user selects a value in the input box and clicks on the add button which puts the value in the output box. The user is able to choose the same value from the input box that was previously selected. It is designed that way so that the user can choose the same value and have different names. this is done for a good reason ........ Now my question is how do I send the contents of the output listbox without using hidden form fields?
