Note on July 23 @9:14AM: HoyaSaxa93 wrote in to ask how to get values from select multiples. I will create the demo and code below. This would be how to set a select multiple to an array called,“ foo”.

  var foo = []; 


  $(
  ‘
  #multiple :selected
  ’).each(function
  	(i, selected){ 

  foo[i] = 
  $(selected).text(); 
  

});
