Can you clarify and include some sample code? We may be able to help if
we could better understand the problem.

Re: Selecting items in a list/menu with javascript
OK.. I'll do my best to clarify. A user does a search and pulls up a
list of clients. I have a form on the side of the list that they can
use to add a new client if its not in the list. If the client is in the
list, they can click on the client's name and it will poplulate that
form with all of their information so they can update the record. One
of the fields is a List/Menu box that allow for multiple selections. So,
I am passing, for example onclick=popform ('Show, Sold') which are two
elements in that menu box. I need to have both of those selected when I
do the onclick event. Is that possible?
Does that help?

Re: Selecting items in a list/menu with javascript
If I am understanding right, you are trying to populate a couple of
text fields from the selection in a <select> tag selection?
<option value="textfiel d1|textfield2" onclick="popfor m(this)">some
option</option>
function popform(el) {
fields = el.value.split( '|');
this.form.textf ield1.value = fields[0];
this.form.textf ield2.value = fields[1];
}
Is this something like what you were hoping for?

Re: Selecting items in a list/menu with javascript
Never mind, I just figured out what you want.
el = document.formNa me.selectName;
opts = el.options;
for (i=0;i<opts.len gth;i++) {
if (opts[i].selected) {
// do something with this option
}
}
