dropdown list
i written code for dropdown list which is multiple selecion list.what i need is i want to refer each selected item by its name so that i can use that name in somewhere else.
i am using name attribute for option tag also, i donot know option tag has name attribute.
<select name=menu multiple>
buffer.append("<OPTION name=on24url"+i+" value="+urlroot+sChon24[i]
</select>
why i need this is i used check box
<input type=checkbox name=on24url"+i+" value="+urlroot+sChon24[i]
sChurl[i]=portal.getUser()
iam trying to implement drop down list instead of checkbox.

the code of a multiple select is this:
<select name="myselect" multiple>
<option value="value1">text1</opti
<option value="value2">text2</opti
<option value="value3">text3</opti
<option value="value4">text4</opti
</select>
so you must generate in this way:
<select name=menu multiple>
buffer.append("<OPTION value="+urlroot+sChon24[i]
</select>
and if you need to refer to the selected items in the same page you can use javascript:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
idSelect = document.my_form_name.myse
for (iTmp=0; iTmp < idSelect.options.lengt; iTmp++) {
if (idSelect.options[iTmp].se
alert("Option selected " + idSelect.options[iTmp].tex
}
}
//-->
</script>
