Retriveing Select Options collection in ASP

[bafadam]

I've been wracking my brains trying to figure out how to do this, so I thought I would pop it out here for the experts, since my earlier attempts have ended in failure.

I'm trying to retrive a collection of <OPTION>'s from an HTML select list, and then loop through them to make them options in a CheckBoxList in VB.

Does anyone have a quick and dirty way to use Javascript to get this information, and then loop through it in VB to populate the drop down?

I'm not very strong in using Javascript inside my VB, so I think that's where the source of my issues come from.

Thanks!

I don't think you need to use javascript. Are you just posting the data to a vb program? the data should come like this:

request("myList") = "option1,option2, option5"

so if I wanted to loop thru these I would say:

myList = split(request("myList"), ",")
for each x in myList
   response.write x & "<br>" & vbNewLine
next

Does this make sense?
