Python CGI Select Multiple Returning all items in box

Howdy all,

Is there an easy way to return all items of an "HTML select multiple"
even if they aren't highlighted?

form=cgi.FieldS torage()
form.getlist("b ox")

only returns those that are selected.

Thanks,

Mark

Pardon, but if it did that, how would you know which had been
selected?

Sorry, I should have explained better. I'm using the "listbox" as a
repository. With some Javascript, the user dumps items into it and
then hits the submit. It's similar to what you see here:

IIRC I have done this in the past with an onSubmit handler that went through and selected all the
items in the desired list so they would be included in the submit. It was long ago and far away
though...

The following snippet of code...
