set multiselect values to selected="t"?

Is it possible to have all the values in a multiselect to default to selected instead of unselected? i didnt see an applicable attribute for the "select" item and i couldnt find anything in the form API. thanks in advance!

You can do this mainly with straight javascripting. The IWItem.getOptions and IWItem.setOptions methods from FormAPI can be used to get and set the options array. So, the approach would be something like (untested code):


// selectItem is the multi-select item, retrieved via IWDatacapture.getItem
var opts = selectItem.getOptions();
for (j = 0; j < opts.length; j++)
{
    opts.selected = true;
}

selectItem.setOptions(opts);
// you may need to do a screen refresh at this point.

If you're talking about a DCT - the option for whether something is selected is in the <option> element which is a child of the <select> element.
