Hi,

Here's the function I am using to change the value of one select to another....

PHP Code:

function transferItem(srcId, destId) {
var destObj = document.getElementById(destId);
var srcObj = document.getElementById(srcId);
for(var i=0; i<srcObj.length; i++)
if(srcObj.options[i].selected) {
var srcTxt = srcObj.options[i].text;
var srcVal = srcObj.options[i].value;
var newOpt = document.createElement("OPTION");
newOpt.text = srcTxt;
newOpt.value = srcVal;
destObj.add(newOpt, null);
}
for(var i=0; i<srcObj.length; i++) {
if(srcObj.options[i].selected) {
srcObj.remove(i);
}
}
} 


I can see it is transferring one select to another but when I check the source....I shows empty.....

Please help...

Here's the code how I am calling it...

<select name="cat[]" id="cat" multiple="multiple" size="10" style="width: 200px;">
                                                 <option onKeyPress="" value="Select City">Select Category</option>
</select>

<input name="insert" type="button" onClick='transferItem("cat","cat2") ' class="btm" value="Insert" /></td>

<input name="delete" type="button" onClick='transferItem("cat2","cat") ' class="btm" value="Delete" />

 <select name="cat2[]" id="cat2" multiple="multiple" size="10" style="width: 200px;">
</select>

In the last:

This is how I am calling this array:

PHP Code:

if(!empty($_POST['cat2']))
    {
    
        for($i=0; $i<sizeof($_POST['cat2']); $i++)
        {
        
        $list1[$i] = $_POST['cat2'][$i];
                        
        } 


Please help.....Thanks..

Javascript works on the object model of the page in memory NOT on the physical source.

Thanks, Chrishirst,

So, Is there any solution..???as I want to transfer it physically so that my php function would be able to recognize that.......

Please help.

Thanks,

Even if there was PHP would NOT "recognise" it.

PHP is over and done BEFORE the page is rendered in the browser and javascript starts to run.

PHP is SERVER SIDE code and has NO interaction with client side code.

You have to PASS the values BACK to the server by submitting the form (POST method) or making another request to the server with querystring parameters (GET method)
