Problem with listbox

Question

hi i am having problems with listbox values
basically there are 2 listboxes, with values populated from 2 different resultsets. i need to move items from one listbox to the other and vice versa and then submit values for the items for the 2nd listbox to the database. How do i specify that i want all the items in the 2nd listbox? If i use a request.getParameterValues() it will only return those that i have selected. But i do not want user to have to select any items in the 2nd listbox, they should be reflecting what the user wanted.

Answer 1

ok thanks
does the javascript method works if i need to pass 2 arrays instead of one inside?
var selectVal = new Array();
var availableVal=new Array();
function toArray(){
var len1 = document.getElementById("selectedOptions").length;
for(var i = 0;i<len1;i++){
selectVal=document.getElementById("selectedOptions").options[i].value;
var len2=document.getElementByID("availableOptions").length
for(var j=0; j<len2; j++){
availableVal[j]=document.getElementById("availableOptions").options[j].value;
document.option.data1.value = selectVal;
document.option.data2.value = availableVal;
it works for one array, but i am having problems if i add another listbox availableOptions inside.
