Dropdown Box with Multiple Choices

[Brita]

I am sure there must be an easy answer to this, but I can't find it.

I have to process a form where people can request information on one or more communities from a drop-down box. I bring the information into a java servelet to process. I get the data using:

request.getPara meter("firstNam e")

However request.getPara meter("communit yName") only brings me back the first community they select.

How do I get the other choices?


On a previous posting it was suggested that the developer use a list box. Unfortunately I don't design the page, I am handed a page and told to make it work. If all goes well, the designer gets the credit, if something goes wrong, I get the blame. ;-) I am sure I am not the only one in this boat.

Thanks in advance for your help.

For a multiple select, use
[CODE=java]request.getPara meterValues("se lectName");[/CODE]
