Re: accessing multiple values from an html form multi-select box

Try using arrays (pl/sql tables) as the "in" parameter of your procedure for each multiple select.
Note: checkboxes may need special handling also. Multiple select boxes return a name=value pair for each selection Checkboxes return 0 if not checked or 1 name=value pair when checked Also note: the same method might be used to handle multiple form objects with the same name
I haven't tested this out yet, so good luck.
