You're right - the multiple="true" was wrong, but that was essentially ignored since I am capturing the "onclick" event. What I want to send is the index to use in extracting the appropriate info from the underlying collection.

Anyhow, what I am wanting to do is capture the selected index, then issue a submit() request. Ironically, if I have this:

index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;
index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;

the second assignment (sometimes!) captures the correct index value. Again, this race condition only occurs when using IE.

What are you actually trying to send? The selected value or the index of the selected item? I also note you have multiple="true"... so you expect that more than one can be selected? I'm not sure if that has a bearing on the selectedIndex (I could see where it might), and even if it does, the handler code wouldn't seem to account for that.

I thought I had licked this problem - but it only works with Firefox!

I have an <html:select> tag that, when a user selects an option, a submit() is forced through a javascript call.

The JSP code is:

<html:select property="selectedAvailableBeans" size="12" multiple="true"
               ...
    onclick="handleClick(this)"/>

The javascript code:

function handleClick(obj, prefix) {
   var F_Obj = obj.form;
   index = F_Obj.selectedAvailableBeans.selectedIndex;
   ...

   F_Obj.submit();
}

This works fine in Firefox, but with IE, the index value is always -1.

Can anyone help me with the proper way to post the results of a selection without requiring the user to depress a select button?

Thanks,
