    text
    copied!<p>I have 2 multi-select boxes that transfer to each other. The transfer both ways goes fine. I also call an ajax fn to submit the selected options to a database. The call from left to right works fine because I am just getting all the options, not just selected ones.</p> <pre><code>var domelts = $('#imfavs option'); // next translate that into an array of just the values var buddylist = $.map(domelts, function(elt, i) { return $(elt).val();}); </code></pre> <p>Now, when I try to go from right to left with just the selected options, it's always returning an empty array.</p> <p>I tried 2 ways</p> <pre><code>var domelts = $('#imfavs :selected'); var removelist = $.map(domelts, function(elt, i) { return $(elt).val();}); $('#imfavs :selected').each(function (x) { removelist[x] = $(this).val(); }); </code></pre> <p>for the 2nd one, removelist is var'd before.</p> <p>My HTML</p> <pre><code> &lt;form method="post" name="frmFavs" id="frmFavs"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current Friends&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SLS Chat Friends&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;select name="userfavs" multiple="multiple" size="25" id="userfavs"&gt; &lt;cfoutput query="userfavs"&gt;&lt;option value="#encrypt(userfavs.user2id,application.key,'DES','Hex')#"&gt;#userfavs.user2#&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/cfoutput&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;button type="button" style="height:100px;" id="add"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;button type="button" style="height:100px;" id="remove"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;select name="imfavs" multiple="multiple" size="25" id="imfavs"&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="middle"&gt;&lt;div id="info"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any help appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
