Drown down boxes on forms

J

Judy

I set up a drop down box with "allow multiple selections". However, when I test the form selecting several from the list, only the last entry is showing up in the results. I have tried left mouse clicks on each entry as well as "Ctrl" and left mouse clicks. Can anyone help

Regards

Judy,

Have you assigned each item in your drop down box
a "Value"?

<select size="1" name="Drop" multiple>
<option value="item 1">item 1</option>
<option value="item 2">item 2</option>
<option value="item 3">item 3</option>
</select>

Also when using multiple selections a user must use CTRL
+ Click, to select multiple items, so you may want to
place some text somewhere on the form.

I'm having a very similar problem, except only the first selection comes through on the report form. Oddly, all selections show up on the confirmation, it's on the formatted text file that more that one selection in a drop-down box fails to show. I've scrupulously checked and re-checked the setting to allow multiple selections on the drop-down properties box, as well as made sure the initial states of the choices was "not selected," that is, none of the choices is "Selected."

Here's the associated code:

<!--webbot bot="Validation" s-display-name="Systems or Applications" b-value-required="TRUE" i-minimum-length="1" --><select size="7" name="Systems_and_Applications" multiple><option value="Outlook">Outlook</option><option value="ADM">ADM</option><option value="PDM">PDM</option><option value="Insight/CPR">Insight/CPR</option><option value="PkMS (Rivergate only)">PkMS (Rivergate only)</option><option value="JDA/MMS Tryton (Retail Outlets)">JDA/MMS Tryton (Retail Outlets)</option><option value="Remote Dial-In/VPN access">Remote Dial-In/VPN access</option></select>

Thanks for any help...

that's always been a problem w/ multiple selects

FYI
your values with a punctuation [ / ( ) ]and spaces are not legal and will cause you problems
Change them all to under_scores
