Selecting multiple things in a select box

[Darksbane]

How do I allow the user to select multiple values in a select box? I have seen this done before where the user can press control and click on extra selections.

Thanks for the help

<select type="multiple">

Actually its

<select multiple>

I tried with the type="multiple" doesn't work but the the way it is uptop works for me just great. So i'm sure it'll work for you Darksbane

Oh yeah - I don't use that widget too often if I hadn't made that clear for my lack of an accurate answer above.

Anyway, to be XHTML compliant, you'd need to make it:

<select multiple="mutiple">

Cool that works, now just one other question. How do I get the HTTP_POST_VAR to hold all the values selected? Currently it only holds the last value selected.

Thanks,
