Entry

I want to name a SELECT 'someSelect[]' for PHP, but I think the '[]' are illegal in JS. Help.

------------------
Just add

ID="ListBoxName"

to your existing listbox, after alteration which will look like :

Name="ListBoxName[]" ID="ListBoxName"

and thereafter it will solve the problem of different names for 
JavaScript and PHP.

Take Care,

Above doesn't work with Netscape so I prefer naming your script like 
below: 

<select name="var[]" multiple>

And Javascript like: 

variable = documents.forms[0].elements['var[]'];
