Pass mulitple select options using GET

Hi,

I have a 'multiple select' in a form in an HTML page and I am trying to
send the selected values to the server using GET method eg

ProcessXXXServlet?selectOptions=document.forms[0].selectBoxName.value

I get only the first selected value on the server when I try to
retrieve the selected options by

request.getParameterValues("selectOptions")

How can I get all the selected values on the server. For some reason, I
have to append the parameter to the URL and cannot use post method.

Thanks.
Puneet

Actually, I am not submitting the form, but just opening a new window
using window.open() method.

I am trying to use the following

window.open('ProcessXXXServlet?brand='+document.forms[0].brand.values);

where 'brand' is a multiple select. But using this I get only first
value of brand on the server, not all the ones that user selected in
the multiple select

Her question, I believe, was "is this Javascript, or Java?". If it's
JavaScript, you put it between <script> tags or in onClick/onWhatever
actions in an HTML document (among other things) and is _OFF TOPIC_ here.
If it's Java, you'll have to give us the declarations of the variables
'window' and 'document' before we can make sense of that.

(If it's Java, your quoting's wrong, anyways; I'm sure you're using
javascript, in which case you should take your question to an appropriate
newsgroup. comp.lang.javascript, probably.)

Sounds like (yet another) job for the JS gurus. Start here.
