multiple select list box with eform?

hi there. i have a form with a multiple select listbox but when i submit the form to eForm (1.4.3) the report only shows the last item selected in the list. how can i change this to show all the items selected?

snippet call:



form field:



report:



ie, if i select "Job1", and "Job3" the report only shows "Job3".

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I’ve not tested it but you should change the name of the select to trasform it in an array

<select name="Jobs[]" size="4" multiple="multiple" id="Jobs" eform="Select jobs:listbox:1">
<option value="job1">Job 1</option>
<option value="job2">Job 2</option>
<option value="job3">Job 3</option>
<option value="job4">Job 4</option>
</select>

:-)

this gives me the following validation error:

Select jobs » Incorrect value

this occurs whether i remove the eform tag from the select tag, or if i change the validation format to text. there isn’t an array format is there?

Try this:

<select name="Jobs" size="4" multiple="multiple" id="Jobs" eform="Select jobs:listbox:1">
<option value="job1[+Jobs:job+]">Job 1</option>
<option value="job2[+Jobs:job2+]">Job 2</option>
<option value="job3[+Jobs:job3+]">Job 3</option>
<option value="job4[+Jobs:job4+]">Job 4</option>
</select>

where [+name_of_field:option_value+] is the syntax.
