Menu
This one is driving me nuts. It’s got to be something simple and stupid that I am overlooking. I have a multiple select box in a form. I am just trying to get the values that are selected. In my loop, if I use alert then I have no problem. As soon as try to concatenate the values I get the error ‘SelBranch[...].selected' is null or not an object
<form name="InventoryList" method="post" action="InventoryList.asp">
<select name="SelBranch" class="bnotes" size="5" multiple="multiple">
<option value="All">All</option>
<option value="001 Renton">001 Renton</option>
<option value="002 Spokane">002 Spokane</option>
<option value="003 Missoula">003 Missoula</option>
<option value="004 Chehalis">004 Chehalis</option>
<option value="005 Portland">005 Portland</option>
<option value="006 Anchorage">006 Anchorage</option>
<option value="018 PDC">018 PDC</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="ViewReport" value="View" class="bnotes" onclick="GetInventory();">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
function GetInventory()
{
var InvForm = document.forms.InventoryList;
var SelBranchVal = "";
var x = 0;
for (x=0;x<=InvForm.SelBranch.length;x++)
{
if (InvForm.SelBranch[x].selected)
{
//alert(InvForm.SelBranch[x].value);
SelBranchVal = SelBranchVal + "," + InvForm.SelBranch[x].value;
}
}
alert(SelBranchVal);
}
</script>

With jQuery, you can use the . val() method to get an array of the selected values on a multi-select dropdown list.
To select multiple options in a drop-down list, use the multiple properties. It allows you to select more than one option while pressing CTRL key.
selectedOptions returns a list of selected items. Specifically, it returns a read-only HTMLCollection containing HTMLOptionElements. ... is spread syntax. It expands the HTMLCollection 's elements.
The for loop is getting one extra run. Change
for (x=0;x<=InvForm.SelBranch.length;x++)
to
for (x=0; x < InvForm.SelBranch.length; x++)
Here i am posting the answer just for reference which may become useful.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script>
function show()
{
var InvForm = document.forms.form;
var SelBranchVal = "";
var x = 0;
for (x=0;x<InvForm.kb.length;x++)
{
if(InvForm.kb[x].selected)
{
//alert(InvForm.kb[x].value);
SelBranchVal = InvForm.kb[x].value + "," + SelBranchVal ;
}
}
alert(SelBranchVal);
}
