Request.form(listbox)

[Mark Tait]

Hi - I'm using the function below, to add items from one list box, to
another - however, when I post the page back to iteself (ASP) and do a
request.form, it does not pick up any items in the second list - because
they're not hilighted when the page is posted.

Is there a way of picking up the items in the list, regardless of
whether they are selected ot not?

Thanks for any help, Mark



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function Populate() {
frm=document.forms[0]
field1=frm.txtaddresslist
field2=frm.txtmemb

for(i=0, j=0;i<field1.length;i++) {
if(field1.options.selected) {
newOpt=field1.options.text
// a=field2.length
// alert(a)
// field2.length++
alert(field2.length)
a=field2.length
field2.options[a]= new Option(newOpt,newOpt)
j++
}
}
}

// -->

No. The only data submitted by a form is data that is entered or selected by
the user. If the responding page needs to know all the items in the list,
you have to supply them either in the responding page, or use a hidden
textbox in the form that contains all the items. Hey! you could create a
hidden copy of the listbox that has all the values selected! Try that.
