Cool idea - never would have thought of this use of a select. Cool.

Here's a version that appears to work.

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT>
<!--
function selectall() {
	for ( i=0;
		  i<document.forms[0].subject.options.length;
		  i++){
		
	document.forms[0].subject.options[i].selected = true;

	}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<FORM>
<SELECT NAME="subject" SIZE=4 MULTIPLE>
	<OPTION>First</OPTION>
	<OPTION>Second</OPTION>
	<OPTION>Third</OPTION>
	<OPTION>Fourth</OPTION>
</SELECT>

<INPUT TYPE="button" ONCLICK="selectall()" VALUE="Select All">

</FORM>
