In my code I want to pass all the items(values)present in select list to backend, Am trying to do that but am not getting exact result .

Now am able to pass only one item(value) to back-end, Instead of that I want to pass all the value whichever present in select list.

Below is my code

Not sure anyone understood your plight, as your wording is rather elusive.
What are you specifically trying to do again? What's the "backend" you're referring to? I saw the code it has nothing resembling items(values) on the markup or the js. If you meant to ask how to get the selected options of a 'multiple' Select element, check my previous reply to you, you iterate for all .selected ones.

Hey Danny,

Actually I want to submit all the items of select list.

Now am able to submit only one value whichever selected in select list,

I want to submit all the item(value) whichever present in the that list box currently , whether the user is selected or not those values.

Hope u got his time.

Thank you

What nonsense,
a select list is for submitting the one or multiple selected items.

If you want to submit all items select them all.

Wether you do that with javascript or not is immaterial,
until you specify so.

Non-selected values can't be retrieved by the receiving script, because they are simply not passed in the POST/GET request.

One possible workaround is to select everything in the box just before the submit-action:

<form method="get" action="script.php" name="f"
onSubmit="
for (var i=0; i<document.f.fruit.options.length; ++i)
document.f.fruit.options[i].selected = true;
">
<select multiple="multiple" name="fruit" size="3">
<option value="apple">apple</option>
<option value="pear">pear</option>
<option value="orange">orange</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Hope this helps,

hmmmm, did you ever bothered reading my reply to your previous issue on Deletion of options? it seems you didn't, as it shows how to get all .selected options. Anyhow, this was my example, check the code-> http://www.webdevout.net/test?01b&raw

Who is this "you"?

Usenet is not email.

Always quote for reference on usenet.

Anyway: I did not ever bothered!
