Hi Monks

I tried to transfer an array from javascript to a perl variable, which will be used later by perl.

Key part:


<select id="multiple" multiple="multiple">
    <option selected="selected">Multiple</option>
    <option>Multiple2</option>
    <option selected="selected">Multiple3</option>
</select>  //html markup

[download]

var multipleValues = $("#multiple").val() || []; //javascript/jquery

[download]

My question is how to transfer/copy the array "multipleValues" to an perl array variable "@array" in the same perl script(CGI).

I generally will single quote javascript code and imbed them in the CGI code

But if I want to use the results from the javascript in this same CGI script,I don't know how

Could someone help me?

Thank you
