Hi everyone!

I completely new to javascript, so I need some help, please

I have a rather long list of words or phrases that i want to be selectable and de-selectable. When the user presses submit the selected words/phrases should be sent in a form using GET/POST

Make any sense? And can any of you help?

Thanks!

Abj
