Submitting Selct List Contents in a form

[dru]

Hi,
In a form that i created, i allow the user to insert elements into a select list object. these things are lable/value pairs called label and value:
I use the following function to add these values from text boxes to the select list.

function addToList(listField, newText, newValue) {
if ( ( newValue == "" ) || ( newText == "" ) ) {
alert("You cannot add blank values!");
} else {
var len = listField.length++; // Increase the size of list and return the size
listField.options[len].value = newValue;
listField.options[len].text = newText;
listField.selectedIndex = len; // Highlight the one just entered (shows the user that it was entered)
form1.sublink_name.value = "";
form1.sublink_label.value = "";
} // Ends the check to see if the value entered on the form is empty
}

now i know that in order for this to work i need to select all the values in the select list when submitting it, which i do when submitting, so that the querysting has all the values. however, when i look at the querysting i only see the lables, no values. is there a trick to submitting also the values of the select list to the query string?
any help is appreciated

show the code that your are using to append values from list box to query string...

well i thought when submitting the form, the values and fields should automatically be appended to the querystring.
all i had to do was insert a piece of code that selects all the items in the list and then submit (onSubmit).
the code that selects the list items was this:

for (i=0; i<document.form1.sub_links.length; i++) {
document.form1.sub_links.options[i].selected = true;
}

sub_links is the select box. it should store lable and value fields in it.

thanks

This is probably true if your list box is set for multiple selection...

It is set at multiple, how do i retrieve those values (text/value) from the query string? the only thing that is visible in the Qstring is sub_links=...the label name....
this variable is the same as the select name.

I should also mention this,
initially the select list is empty.
<select name="sub_links>
</select>
the values are added dynamically using the value and text property of the select box.
