hidden fields and String[]

["Zimmer, Robin (SSABSA)" <ro...@ssabsa.sa.gov.au>]

I have a form bean that has an array of strings that are supposed to hold
the selected items from a multibox. The architect has asked that when the
roiginal form is submitted, I display the selected items on a new form as
part of a confirmation process. When the Yes button is pressed the contents
of the string array (selected items) must be submitted. To accomplish this I
am trying to use hidden fields to hold the content of the String[] but am
getting no where. I realise that I have to iterate somehow over the array,
but have nver thried this with a String[] and hidden fields. Can someone
please help.

Hi Robin,

If you just want to use javascript to prompt the user, showing the 
selected fiields you can iterate through your form fields like this:

    var elementLength = window.document.SearchForm.elements.length;
    spacer = " ";
    userMsg = "Hey user - Click yes if you want to select ";
    for (var eachElement = 0;eachElement < elementLength; eachElement++)
    {
        var theElement = window.document.SearchForm.elements[eachElement];
        if ((theElement.name == 'MyFieldName') ||
            (theElement.name == 'YourFieldName')
        {
            userMsg+= spacer + theElement.value;
        }
        spacer = ", ";
    }
    if (prompt(userMsg)) {
         submit or whatever here...
     }

Regards,
Stan
