I have some more info on this:

When it is set up to return a PHP array for the select (ie name=users[]) and the entire form is passed to the javascript, the java console says "users has no properties. Therefore, I don't think I am referencing this array properly from javascript.

I am not sure what that means, but it may give a clue.

Thanks,

Barry

Hi I hope someone can give me some help.

I need to allow multi-picks for the searching solutions, both the advanced search and the quick search screens. For the most part that has been pretty easy just convert the "name=scalar" to "name=scalar[]" and then modify the PHP , but I am running into several problems. First, in the case of the quick search page, "release" is a hidden value because its not a field you allow quick searches on. But if you just add the array brackets to release when the type=hidden, you just get a string like this "Array". How can I get the form to return a properly formatted array.

The second problem is that the clearFilters button doesn't work, now that all the elements are arrays and not scalars. I know nothing of javascript, but how can I modify the javascript to clear the filters when the elements are arrays? That is, how to convert f.users.selectedindex = 0 when users is an array.?
