[jQuery] Re: saving values from a multi select list.

[shaded]

With Pleasure.

===================================================
first post
====================================================
Im using a plugin called selectchain by Remy Sharp and modified it a
bit. Right now
im trying to pass only selected values of a multi select list through
ajax. The following function does a bit more but im concerned with the
part that says

cust_val: customer.val().join(",")

This should return only selected values. This is what happens if i put
it in an alert().   however when i check firebug to see what was
posted it shows the entire list. I've tried alternatives like
option:selected.... they all work for alet() .. but the info passed
through ajax shows the entire list.

please help.

customer.selectChain({
   target: market,
   url: callback_url,
   type: "POST",
   data: { ajax: true, multsel: market_selects, cust_val: customer.val
().join(",")  }
}).trigger('change');

Second Post
=============================================
Ok so i thought that maybe the problem had something to do with the
ajax request so i tried adding the ajaxStart function. See below.

 $("#ddl_customer").change(function(){
  $("#ddl_customer").ajaxStart(function() {
     cuslist = $(this).val().join(", ");
  });
  alert(cuslist);

});

$("#ddl_customer").selectChain({
        target: market,
        url: callback_url,
        type: "POST",
        data: { ajax: true, multsel: market_selects, cust_val:
cuslist  }
                     }).trigger('change');

So im trying to get all the selected values from ddl_customer in the
first block of code. then pass it to cust_val in the second block of
code.

note that the alert(custlist) outputs what i expect. but when i check
cust_val in firebug.... it outputs the entire list, not only selected
values.

Please Help!:(
