Hi,
I was trying to have a html form with multiple entries in a drop down box.
ex:
<select multiple name="favcolor" size = 3>
<option>green
<option>aquamarine
<option selected>emerald
<option>turquoise
<option>aqua
<option>black
<option>yellow
</select>
Does any one know how I could use URLDecoder class ( data.getValue("string"))
here. Or do i have to write sth on my own for this.
Basically I know in forms everything works as a name value pair but when we use
the 'multiple' option in the select tag , I am not sure how things work.
Is one name associated with all these multiple values that the user selects ?
Does it mean that I have to call URLDecoder.getValue("favcolor") multiple number
of times ?
Or is there another way to extract these values....
Would appreciate some help here.
Cheers !!!
