Oh, you are right, ok. Why are you transforming the output of the form with javascript? The form can send its data itself. You may also check the actual value of the `runs` variable in the javascript code by adding alert(runs) right after the assignment `var runs = ...`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I wasn't using javascript originally, I changed to using it cos I couldnt get it to work using just the form. I can see the 'runs' variable is only set to one value in firebug. Ta for your time tho :)	[reply]

Well, while w3schools is full of good stuff, they happen to be wrong about multiple. According to HTML 4.01 multiple is a boolean flag that is set or not, thus `<select id="runs" name="runs" multiple>`	[reply] [d/l]
