Hi, I feel kind of stupid for asking this but I need to know how to check what was selected on a multiple listbox.
eg:
<SELECT id=select1 multiple name=Employees size=5>
some options here
</select>
How would I use ASP code to find out what was selected. And if anyone could point me to a page about checking different form elements by ASP it would be very appreciated.
Well I figured it out if anyone else was wondering:
Code:Dim EmployeeCount
EmployeeCount = Request.Form("Employees").Count
dim i
For i = 1 to EmployeeCount
Response.Write(Request.Form("Employees").Item(i))
Next
The code you have will work if you have a submit button, but if you have a regular button then you can do it using a client side scripting:

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=vbscript>
Sub GetCount()
Dim colOptions
Dim i
Dim strValues
Set colOptions = frmMyForm.lstList.Options
For i = 0 To colOptions.length - 1
If colOptions(i).Selected Then
strValues = strValues & colOptions(i).Value & vbCrLf
End If
Next
window.alert strValues
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P> </P>
<FORM name=frmMyForm action=Serge.asp>
<SELECT name=lstList multiple>
<%For i = 1 To 10%>
<OPTION Value=<%="Item" & CStr(i)%>><%="Item" & CStr(i)%></OPTION>
<%Next%>
</SELECT>
<INPUT type="button" value="Count Selected Items" name=cmdCount onclick="GetCount">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
