Um, why?
Rather defeats the purpose.
Can you do it? Yeah. Should you? Probably not. You probably want another
type of control.

Yes, provided that you also allow the user to select as many
items as they like, but it's a bad idea. It means that your
server-side code won't receive data that it needs if the user
has disabled JavaScript.
List all of the available options in a hidden form field or
hard-code them into the server-side script, or write them down
and tape the list to your monitor, depending on how you're
processing the form data.
Its a drag and drop control. Elements are dragged into or out of it. I want
to select it all before submit is hit.
Thanks for the advice on condoms too, I never thought of that. Ike

Perhaps this?
<html>
<head>
<title>selected.htm</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function selectList() {
var form = document.forms[0];
for (var i=0; i<form.selectedList.length; i++) {
form.selectedList.options[i].selected = true;
}
return false;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" onsubmit="return selectList()">
<b>Numbers:</b>
<br>
<select name="selectedList" multiple size="4">
<option value="1">One
<option value="2">Two
<option value="3">Three
<option value="4">Four
</select>
<br><input type="submit" value="Submit">
<br><input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>
</body>
</html>
1) Change "return false;" to "return true;" after testing.
2) Change or remove: size="4"

Well, assuming the user has javascript enabled, which I assume they must
for the drag and drop to work, you can just make it a mutli-select and
then iterate through the options and set selected to true for each one.
You cannot do this before submit is hit - you do it in the onClick of
the submit button, before the event is propagated to the onSubmit
handler.

ok..
put this in the head:
</script>
function selectAll(row)
{
for (i = 0; i<row.options.length;i++)
{
row.options[i].selected=true;
}
}
</script>
and this in the submit button
<input type=submit.....onClick="selectAll(this.form.selec tedList)">
that should do the trick (also)
Oh yes....Iwas tring to do it onsubmit=...but s/b onClick=.... ty
