Is there a work around to get the list box to function as a multi-select?

I've been able to get the basic html code to do what I want using the framework. However, going about this option when the user hits submit, something strange happens with the submission.

I'm able to successfully submit a form on my own server following the proper procedures, but the end result is lacking a multi-select.

For reference I have complied both examples http://domain.brainiactutor.com:

Any suggestions on either getting the form to submit to the server correctly using the framework. Or being able to have a multi-select function using WFB-manual export.

thanks

Are you using Form Builder?
Just making sure.

Yes,

The first form you see when the page loads. Is the form I exported from WFB, using manual settings. Then uploading the appropriate files to the server. All is good no problem ( besides being able to multi-select from a list).

The second form you see is me taking the same exact form and exporting it as automated server set-up. I proceed by taking the HTML putting it into RSD and creating the appropriate dependencies. Going this route I'm able to multi-select from the list. However, when hitting submit the nothing happens

I haven't tried it but you could add a checkbox to your form and change it to a dropdown multi select after export.

So it seems that the default 'list' element in WFB is actually a multiple select. It's not very obvious on desktop as it's a click and drag to select multiple items, but on mobile you are able to individually select from the list.

Ok Cool I never knew that. I have pretty much moved over to Form Designer and doing my own back end scripts.

I've just started using web-form builder, and form builder more often recently. I still have a sense of uncertainty with users being able to successfully submit information. However, I'm quickly becoming familiar. I followed the tutorial regarding hooking up a form. Using the back-end functions of web-form builder, and the front-end of form builder. Then compiling all of it inside RSD.

It's still not 100%, but should be soon. It was a lot of fun to do, and look forward to more cool projects.
