We have a form with about 6 select boxes. Scenario is: on selection of the options in the select box, a value needs to be captured and stored. For eg: in select box 1, if i select option 2 then value 2 to be stored and so on. When form is submitted, i neeed to have the sum of all the values in an integer variable and also an array with the selected values. Eg my final integer value is 28 (which is added up) and array is {2,4,6,8,2,6} somethin like this.
I dont wanna have n number of hidden fields for n number of select boxes. If i have only 1 filed and if i want to keep dding the values to the same then on which event i can do this?? cos, onChange event will keep adding everytime i change the value. onoutfocus is not there.

    Hi Satya / Akhilan, jus correct me if i m wrong. When we set a field value thru script, doesn it gets stired into an ac! ?? Cos i notices that, on submit event of the form, i was setting a field value which vs stored onto n ac!. And in the output tab i used to store it to pv!. But never got the value at all.
    So wat i did was, before submitting the form, i set the field value and made it mandatory(it is already hidden.. :) ). then in onSubmit i checkd the value, it appears!!!
    Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
