It works!!

Appreciate this, it was driving me mad, being a cut-n-paste javascript person, rather than one who can write good code (I'm learning :-)

Many thanks, this is a very useful list. Anyone else on here from, or based in Ireland?

<tip>
Just to add to the debate about registration forms and international users - in many countries theres no such thing as a postal code (ie Ireland, except for Dublin). Don't make the postal code mandatory!!!!!! Its really annoying for non-american users such as myself when we can't register for something because the field is both mandatory *and* validated, so we can't just put in **, or whatever.

Hi Fintan,

>have a look at http://learning.ericsson.net/fintan/book2.html
>See the multiple select bit? In Netscape, you select multiple names, and it
submits, no problem. In Internet Explorer, it doesn't work.

Not sure if it was you that had this problem a while back, but someone did.
>From what I remember, your fields in the 'target' box need to be selected
for them to be posted. Try adding the line

document.choiceForm.Students.options[boxLength].selected = true;

to the end of the (isNew) section of your moveOver() function and see if
that makes a difference.
