Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie in AJAX. I have found a code in the web that uses AJAX and PHP (withjavascripts). It works well but i want to have a multiselectable dropdown. How can i retrieve the value of the multiselctable dropdown thruogh its javascript???

Here's the code that retrieve the value of the dropdown:

<script>
var xmlHttp
function showUser(str)
{
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlHttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request")
return
}
var url="php_code1.php" //the name of your php file - ajax code
url=url+"?q="+str
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random()
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
}

function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete")
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText //txtHint is the name of the div that can be replaced by the output of php file
}
}

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
try
{
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e)
{
//Internet Explorer
try
{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e)
{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
return xmlHttp;
}
</script>

***How can i modify it so it will retrieve the value of the multiselectable dropdown which is an array? Please help me...
