How to set multi select by script to a list box.

Question

Hi All,
I have a list box with multiple select on the form with list (Say A,B,C,D,E,F,G ..)
When I select A,C,E ans say this.RawValue I get A,C,E separated by carrage returns.
When i submit the form in my Fm I get A#C#E its all fine.
Now when the form is openend for the 2nd time to update values I get the value as A,C,E separated by carrage return thats fine too.
Now i need to set these 3 values as selected by default so i had some java script in form ready.
Where i iterate tru these list match the entries in the dropdown its fine untill here.
this.setItemState(index,true)
is the code to set them as selected but when i do only the 1st found is set to selected not the remaining ones.
Am i doing something wrong here, please let me know with your suggestions.
below is my script.
var ddValue =  this.rawValue;
ddValue = ddValue.replace("#","\n");
var ddArray = ddValue.split("\n");
var ddLen = ddArray.length;
var textValue = "";
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.clearItems;
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfRequestSummary.dlItem.clearItems;
for(var i = 0;i<ddLen;i++){
     for(var j = 0;j<this.length;j++){
          if(this.getSaveItem(j) == ddArray<i>){
               this.setItemState(j,true);                
               GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.addItem(this.items.nodes.item(j).value,this.getSaveItem(j));
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

Hi Sai,
     The replace function is only replacing the first occur of #, not all of them. But you don't even need to replace the # before you do the split, just change your first lines to split directly with the # character. Your code should look as follow:
var ddValue =  this.rawValue;
var ddArray = ddValue.split("#");
var ddLen = ddArray.length;
var textValue = "";
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.clearItems;
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfRequestSummary.dlItem.clearItems;
for(var i = 0;i<ddLen;i++){
     for(var j = 0;j<this.length;j++){
          if(this.getSaveItem(j) == ddArray<i>){
               this.setItemState(j,true);                
GM_INTAKE_STRUCTURE.sf80.sfItemBuilder.sfHeaderConditions.dlExpenseType.addItem(this.items.nodes.item(j).value,this.getSaveItem(j));
Best regards, Aldo.
