Greetings Monks. I'm using the following to create a scrolling list box.

Here's the important part. The values displayed in the list box are being changed dynamically via JavaScript. 

        my @rightParams = (-class=>'writeField',
                       -name=>$attr,
                       -id=>$rightbox,
                       -values=>$attrHash->{VALUE},
                       -size=>$size,
                       -multiple=>'true',
                       -labels=>$labels
                       );

    $result .= $cgi->scrolling_list(@rightParams));
                
    $cgi->param($attr, $attrHash->{VALUE});
                
        return $result;    
}

I then pull the value on submit with this:

my @values = $cgi->param($attr);

All this works, except what's ending up in @values are the those items in the list box that are selected.

I know this is as designed. My question is: Is there a way I can get all the values listed in the list box, whether or not they are selected?

Thanks.
