Hi guys,

This may be a dumb question, but here goes... Because the table element supports the "multi" style, how can I get the selected items for addition into another list?

For example, if a table has 10 items in the list, but I use Shift + left click to highlight 6 of the 10 items, how can I get the selected 6 items into a list (or variable to parse)?

I am only able to acquire the first line of the selected group of items...

FYI: I am using VDS 5.0.

Thanks,

- Boo

Hi Boo
I cannot check currently what VDS 5 table multiselect does as I am out of station with no access to VDS.
The things you are looking for may be possible using API though as I detailed offline. I may be able to help you more once I am back 25th this month.
BTW you need not post the same question at multiple sections as this may not help in any way to speed up the response.. Take no offense Smile

You should use the @items() function for this. I don't know how the selected rows will be given, but I guess you can parse them with the parse command... Smile

Hi Skit3000,

Thanks! That's just what the doctor ordered. Cool

FYI: I searched for @items() in the VDS 5.0 help file, but search did not show any results. However, at the bottom of the @item() entry, I now notice a link to the @items() information. Wink

Thanks again!

Cheers,

- Boo
