Problem using SELECT-inputs with MULTIPLE

Hello,

when I use a SELECT-input and flag its MULTIPLE-option with "(int) 1" or "true" or "1", I get the following error message:

Nationality: it was not specified a valid input

Here's the AddInputPart for the input-field:

$form->AddInput(array(
"ACCESSKEY" => $_inputs['Nationality']['AccessKey'],
"CLASS" => "InputSelect",
"ID" => "Nationality",
"LABEL" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Label'],
"MULTIPLE" => 1,
"NAME" => "Nationality",
"OPTIONS"=> $countries,
"SIZE" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Size'],
"TABINDEX" => $_inputs['Nationality']['TabIndex'],
"TYPE" => "select",
"VALUE" => "pick",
"ValidateAsDifferentFromText" => "pick",
"ValidateAsDifferentFromTextErrorMessage" => $_inputs['Nationality']['ValidateAsDifferentFromTextErrorMessage']
));

Here's the $_inputs['Nationality']-array:


$_inputs['Nationality'] = array(
"AccessKey" => "N",
"Help" => "Please choose a nationality.",
"Label" => "<u>N</u>ationalities",
"Size" => (int) 3,
"TabIndex" => (int) 5,
"ValidateAsDifferentFromTextErrorMessage" => "Please choose your nationalities!"
);

When I set the MULTIPLE-option to "0" or "false", everything works fine... Once again, I'm wondering if the mistake is on my side... Can anyone explain?

By the way, I'm using the tarball "formsgeneration-2007-02-26.tar.gz"...

For multiple select fields, the selected values must be an array passed using the SELECTED option, not the VALUE options.

In any case, you can print the return value of the AddInput function call as that should be a self-explanatory error message.

I'm not really understanding what you mean... What I want is a SELECT-input, where one can choose multiple options like i.e.:

<select name="top5" size="5" multiple="multiple">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
<option>Option 4</option>
<option>Option 5</option>
</select>

I just took the code from the test_form.php example (Credit Card) and just added the MULTIPLE-option to accomplish this.

Manuel,

I have to apologize... Thinking about your reply, I haved changed it to:

$form->AddInput(array(
"ACCESSKEY" => $_inputs['Nationality']['AccessKey'],
"CLASS" => "InputSelect",
"ID" => "Nationality",
"LABEL" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Label'],
"LabelCLASS" => "Labels",
"LabelID" => "LabelNationality",
"LabelTITLE" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Help'],
"MULTIPLE" => true,
"NAME" => "Nationality",
"OPTIONS"=> $countries,
"SIZE" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Size'],
"TABINDEX" => $_inputs['Nationality']['TabIndex'],
"TITLE" => $_inputs['Nationality']['Help'],
"TYPE" => "select",
"SELECTED" => array("pick"),
"ValidateAsDifferentFromText" => "pick",
"ValidateAsDifferentFromTextErrorMessage" => $_inputs['Nationality']['ValidateAsDifferentFromTextErrorMessage']
));

Now it works! Thank you very much... How do they say, think before you write?

Shame on me,
Tarak
