HTML/JSP: Passing multiple choices from form to next page

[Homerboy]

I have a form where users can ctrl-click and choose up to 4 (actually 8 as there are 2 forms on the page)

I have no idea how to the pass multiple choices through to the next "action" page the form is

<select name='team1players' multiple style='width:100%' size='12' >

so if 1 were chosen, like a normal form you just use (these are .jsp pages BTW) request.getParameter("team1players'")

but since team1players can equal 1-4 values no idea how to seperate that on the action page...

Wouldn't a series of checkboxes be more appropriate than a radio select?

 

[Homerboy]

not radio select
its control-click in a menu... Ill find you example (cant link to specific page as its password/IP blcoked)


Example: http://clams.central.tafe.wa.edu.au/forms/contact.asp
scroll down to Information Required and you can see and example of what I'm trying to do

Oh, gotcha. I understand now.

Try:

String[] values = request.getParameterValues("team1players");

 

[Homerboy]

er... what is that character?
you lost me there

That's a String array, open and close square brackets. That was also going to be my suggestion. You might want to peruse these: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/
