how to select more than one from a select menu?

[John Herdean]

Hi, I would like to know if theres an easy way to get the SelectMenu to allow the user to select as many of the options listed instead of just one?

Hi,

To do this you can add multiple=multiple to "More Properties" dialog on "select" element.

ok, so if i want to run a JS once the done button is clicked, what is the code to trigger that button?

For example, after the user completes his selections, i want to show 'mobilelist_12'

Thanks.

Basically this sort of questions is out of scope of our support, you can code it yourself or search online.

Hi again, ok so when the user selects multiple items theres a small circle with the # of items selected. How can I retreive that value? For example lets put it in a localStorageItem called 'selectnumber' once the user finished with his selections? WHat is the JS api for such? Thanks

Hi, you can use codeAppery("mobileselectmenuName").val()/code
in case if you have multiple selection this method returns array with all selected values.

Im not talking about the array value, Im talking about the number of items selected. Theres a small circle with the # of items selected once the user finishes his/her selections. I need to retrieve that integer value?

[John Herdean]

this is the # I need to retrieve, what is the API to do that?

And now I have another problem. I cant seem to set the value of a localStorage into the selected menu. This is what i tried on Load:

At this stage I have several items in my local storage and I want to have the select menu check off the ones in local storage on page Load, but that action wont do it. What is the proper way to inject a # of items into it?
