Selected values

Hi All,

Thanks in advance. I am trying to get the data of the selected values of the multiselect select box. Below mentioned is my code and it displays nothing even when i select a value. I am calling this function on item change. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!

function abc(){
var UserControlItem1 = IWDatacapture.getItem("/root/UserControlArea1");
var ucaval = UserControlItem1.getOptions()[parseInt(UserControlItem1.getValue())].value;

var areaOptions = UserControlItem1.getOptions();
var numOptions = UserControlItem1.getOptions().length;alert(numOptions);
for (var i = 1; i<=numOptions; i++) {
if(UserControlItem1.options.selected == 'true'){
alert(i);
}
}

Chances are, you simply have comma(that's a default) - delimited list of Values.
Try the following, see what it shows. Note that if you register all that onChangeEvent, FormAPI will set item parameter for you

function abc(item) {
alert(item.getValue());
}

}

IIRC, if the item allows mulitple values, you get a set of values separated by commas.

Hi Boris,

Thanks soo much for the reply.

I am getting data like 0,1 or 3,4. What I want is program,title or small,events. I am trying to get the values instead of the array index.

Thanks,

I am trying to get the values instead of the array index

function abc(item) {
   var available_options = item.getOptions();
   for (var i=0; i<available_options.length; i++) {
      if (available_options.selected) {
         alert(available_options.value);
      }
   }
}
