    add to select-ok but on submit nothing is selected

    hello all,
    i have a small problam. i did 2 select list src and target.
    pressing on the add button move the selected src to the target
    everything is good and working untill i try to submit the target selectlist.

    it looks like nothing is selected

    is there any properties to mark it as selected i mean:
    not like that
    [HTML]<option value="x">xxxxx </option>[/HTML]
    need to b like that :

    [HTML]<option value="x" selected>xxxxx</option>[/HTML]
    so when i post it it will send to the mysql db

    sorry about the bad english and spelling

    thanks for the help

      Welcome to TSDN!

      Use the selectedIndex property of the target list select element and set it to the option that requires selecting.

          thanks for the welcoming
          all the target select list is need to be "selected"
          i was thinking on a for loop to select them all
          asoming x is the target id

          [CODE=javascript]function select_all_targ et(x)
          {
          y = document.getEle mentById(x);

          L = y.length;
          for(i=0;i =L; i++){
          x.options[i].selected
          }
          document.x.subm it();
          }[/CODE]
          that still send 'nulls' to my db
          i dont understand why the 'selected' propertie is selecting nothing ?

              hi ...

              have a look at your fixed example, note the changes ...

              1. wrong loopin condition
              2. the select-node is y instead of x
              3. set the selected property to 'true'
              ...

              [CODE=javascript]<html>
              <head>
              <script typ="text/javascript">
              function select_all_targ et(x) {
              y = document.getEle mentById(x);

              L = y.length;

              for(i=0; i < L; i++){
              y.options[i].selected = true;
              }
              }
              </script>
              </head>
              <body>
              <form name="myform">
              <select multiple size="3" id="sel">
              <option>test1 </option>
              <option>test2 </option>
              </select>
              <input type="button" value="select all" onclick="select _all_target('se l');"/>
              </form>
              </body>
              </html>
              [/CODE]
              kind regards
