Question

I want to be able to send all the selected values from a listbox as a hidden field using JQuery.
I was able to send/retrieve a single value on form submission.

If anyone can share some code snippet, that would help.

Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

Well, it’s not so clear what you are really asking for. There is no “multiple selection dropdownlist” in HTML. To have a multiselect you need to specify

<select id="foobar" multiple>

that will create a listbox where you may select multiple elements. Calling

var sel = $('#foobar').val();

will return an Array of selected items.

edit

To get the text from each option, use .map() or jQuery.map(). Example:

var sel = $('#foobar').children('option:selected').map(function(i,e){
    return e.innerText;
}).get();

That will create an Array containing the text of all selected entrys.
