HTML multi select in Javascript

[Sebarry]

Hi,

I have a HTML select input that I want people to be able to select multiple items from such as:

 
<select name="category[]" id="category[]" multiple>
<option selected="selected" value="Please choose">Please choose</option>
<option value="-----">-----</option>
.....
 
 

In Javascript I want to be able to iterate over the option list, but I don't know how to do this where the select is an array.

Any ideas?

Heya, Sean.

The simplest way to tackle it is to check for the selected property of each element:

for(var $i = 0, $options = document.getElementById('...').options; $i < $options.length; ++$i)
{
    if($options[$i].checked)
    {
        .
        .
        .
    }
}
