Check out my Field plug-in: http://jquery.com/plugins/project/field You can use this to update your fields, below is some sample syntax: Examples * $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'users']").fieldArray(); Returns an array of all values selected or entered for the selector. If the selector was a checkbox or select element, the array would contain the value of each item selected/checked. * $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'users']").fieldArray(["dan", "joern", "karl", "john"]); Sets the value of the field to "dan,joern,karl,john". If the selector was a checkbox or select element, then the options with the values of "dan", "joern", "karl" and "john" would be selected--all other options would be unselected. * $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'users']").getValue(); Returns a comma delimited string of all values selected or entered for the selector. If the selector was a checkbox or select element, the string would contain the value of each item selected/checked as a separate item in the list. * $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'users']").setValue("dan,joern,karl,john"); Sets the value of the field to "dan,joern,karl,john". If the selector was a checkbox or select element, then the options with the values of "dan", "joern", "karl" and "john" would be selected--all other options would be unselected.
