Why wont this work? checkFields() iF statment is failing. The select must be set to multiple. Thanks.

 

<form method="POST" action="" name="this_form">
<select name="this_select" multiple>
	<option value="ts1">ts1</option>
	<option value="ts2">ts2</option>
	<option value="ts3">ts3</option>
	<option value="ts4">ts4</option>
</select>
</form>

 

 

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function checkFields(){
var errormsg = "";
if (document.this_form.this_select.value == "") { var errormsg = errormsg + "Please Select an Value.\n\r"; }
if (errormsg != "") { alert(errormsg); return false; }
}

solution:

document.this_form.elements['this_select[]'].value
