HTML ListBox issues

[PrivateJoker]

I have a HTML list box created and I am trying to access the selected values on the PostBack. However I am only getting one value back from the list box.

<TD ID='TDDescription'>
<SELECT NAME='Description' Class='RegText' isrequired=Yes Multiple=True Size=6 divname='Non-FatalCorrected'>
<OPTION Value='aa' >aa</OPTION>
<OPTION Value='bb' >bb</OPTION>
<OPTION Value='cc' >cc</OPTION>
<OPTION Value='dd' >dd</OPTION>
<OPTION Value='ee' >ee</OPTION>
</SELECT> </TD></TR></Table></Div></td>

In the code behind I have:
Dim aString As String = Request.Form("Description")

I expected to get the results back as "aa,bb,cc,dd,ee" if all the results were selected. However I am only getting back "aa".

Any ideas?

Have you cycled through everything in the Request.Form collection to see what all you are getting?

I suppose

u have to give id attribute to HTML list box and then check ur form method is post or Get

Another thing try using Request("Description") it will give both value from Querystring and form

I have tried all of the suggestions.

Actually I was able to pin it down to the "divname" statement.

EVERYTHING works in IE6, but it does not work in IE7.

In IE7 if I remove the "divname" tag then the multiple selection works. However I need the divname for my javascript validation.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Only one entry (the first selection on the list) shows.


I also tried using a standard HTML attribute such as "lang" and "title", but no matter what it still only returns one selection.

What is the "divname" attribute? I don't think I've ever heard of it before?

[PrivateJoker]

It was a custom attribute that they used to store information in.

What I did was change divname to lang and hid the information in it.

It seems to be working now.

Thanks all for all your help.

I was going to say, IE doesn't like to handle incorrect markup. Combine that with incorrect DocTypes and things get a little funny.
