[Chintan Shah]

Hey guys,
I am doing this thing. please forgive me..as i could not post new topic using <>..so i am just writing simple html code without <>..hope u guys understand
select name="time" multiple
option value="17" 5:00 PM option
option value="19" 7:00 PM option
option value="21" 9:00 PM option
option value="23" 11:00 PM option
select
When i try to retrieve "time" with multiple selection as 5:00 Pm,7:00 Pm ..on another page with request.getParameter("time")..it shows only the first selected value...
how do i get all values?

Before posting on a forum, it's a good idea to check the API documentation. Read what it says about getParameter().

Try using getParameterValues("time")

I tried using getParameterValues...but problem is it is not showing proper values.
When i try to show time values on next page it shows
[Ljava.lang.String;@7aa187
i dont know what is this.

Do you not think that would have been useful information to put into your first post?

That is what happens when you try to display an array. You'll need to iterate over the individual values if you'd like them to display individually.
