Order of elements in a multi select box

[Affan Qureshi <qu...@etilize.com>]

When multiple entries in a <html:select> box are submitted I do not get the
elements in the same order as they appear on the screen. Is this the default
HTML/HTTP behavior or can there be something done about this?

I have mapped a String[] array in the form bean for the select box which is
populated on submit but the elements are not in the same order.

Anybody encountered/worked-around this?

Thanks,
Affan

My guess is that HttpServletRequest uses a Hashtable or Hashmap somewhere 
in its implementation.

It's never be a problem that I've ever needed to work round.
