I did this just today. An example:

<body>
<select id="lstFType" size="1">
<option value="1">Option1
<option value="2">Option2
<option value="3">Option3
</select>
<script language="vbscript>
Dim intNewType
intNewType = lstFType.options (lstFType.selectedIndex).value
</script>

Thanks for you response.

This is what the my code after reading your response

document.frm.cmbMk.options(cmbMk.selectedIndex).value

However, I get a "object required cmbMk" error message.

I know cmbMk exists because

msgbox document.frm.cmbMk.selectedindex

returns the first item selected. This is however not what I want, I want all the items selected.

Can you please help?

Thanks

So you are using a form. As my example shows, I don't use forms and don't know how to use them. I just put controls directly into the document. For testing, you might want to take the <select> element out of the form and see if you can get something more to work. However, this is really an HTML question more than a scripting question.

VBScript is supposed to read out the multiple values <select id="lstFType" multiple size="3"> I am currently testing it (yet unresolved), but this is VB / JS related

Oh no, you are right about that, of course. Retrieving the values from the selection list is the scripting part, and handling the <form> submission is the HTML part. We can nail down the scripting syntax by taking the <select> element out of the <form> and just put it in the document. Then if the OP also needs help with the <form> processing, someone who knows how to do that should help.

If the syntax is known in JS then no doubt there is a way in VBS, it only may take a few extra lines of coding...like attach the selections in a String or an Array [8)]

Object cmbMK doesn't exist on its own, does it ?

quote:
I know cmbMk exists because
msgbox document.frm.cmbMk.selectedindex

What that means is that "document.frm.cmbMk.selectedindex" returns a value but it has nothing to do with "cmbMk.selectedIndex"

I'm not familiar with client-side vbs, but what do you get if you change the line to:

document.frm.cmbMk.options(document.frm.cmbMk.selectedindex).value ?

I dont' even know if it means anything :P
