First, this is a mailing list. Not an IRC channel or Instant Messenger.
This means replies can take hours or even days sometimes. Patience is
the keyword here. If you need help with an issue that urgently, try the
##Javascript channel on IRC. The message I am replying to is
timestamped 12:56am. If I kept normal hours, I would not have even seen
your message for another few hours yet.
As for your question. the .val() will return the current value of the
form element. A multi-select list *may* return all the selected
elements, but that is not my experience in the few times I've tried this.
In the case of a multi-select list, I find it better to fall back to
some "old school" techniques and remember that the "selected" property
will be set to true on each of the selected options. So, I do something
like this:
var selectedArray = [];
$("#right option).attr("selected", true).each( function () {
selectedArray.push(this.val());
});
alert(selectedArray); - should result in the comma delimited string you
are looking for. IF and ONLY if there are selected items.
The gurus here will tell you my approach is probably overly long, but
it's worked for me. Your mileage may vary. Tweak it as needed.

Got some HTML to show of the <select> box?
if you have
<select id="right" mulitple="multiple">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Two</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">Three</option>
</select>
then
$("#right").val() will be an array that is "2,3"
if it's not like that, then (1) your selector doesn't work, (2)
there's nothing actually selected
