save elements within a list box

hi

 

I have two list boxes which i can move data back and fourth does anyone know the code which will allow me to save data in the second list box for a future visit?

It depends on what you mean by "save". I would assume you would want to save it on the server (i.e. using PHP or some other server-side technology). If so, you could simply have a JavaScript function that runs onsubmit of the form and selects all the elements in the list box. Then simply capture the posted values and save in a database, flat-file, etc.

 

However, on the off chance that you aren't doing anything with the values, you could just use JavaScript to save the values to a cookie. You would probably want to modify the current script that adds/removes values to modify the cookie whenever a change is made.
