Here's another short routine to parse a multi-value field on a form into a
JavaScript array. It works in both MSIE 3 & 4, and Netscape 3 & 4.
var inVal=document.forms[0].multValue.value;
var myArray=new Array();
var count=0;
var beg=0;
var end=0;
while (end!=-1){
end=inVal.indexOf(";", beg);
myArray[count]=inVal.substring(beg,end)
beg=end+1
count++
}
