Within the browser (verified on NT under 0.9.6 and 0.9.7), the use of the <select ... multiple ...> construct with numerous VALUE clauses does not work properly when attempting to use Ctrl-click on non-contiguous VALUEs. Clicking on the initial Value selects it, but Ctrl-clicking on anothe value deslects the first one and selects the new one. A partial sample follows: <td valign="top"><select size="4" class="FORMlong" multiple NAME="Question365_6_FormText"><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Associates=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|216=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|2=X|???">Associates</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|BS / BA=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|217=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|3=X|???">BS / BA</option><option SELECTED VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|MS / MA=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|218=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|4=X|???">MS / MA</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|MBA=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|219=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|5=X|???">MBA</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Doctorate / PhD=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|220=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|7=X|???">Doctorate / PhD</option></select><br><span class="EXPLANATORYtext"></span></td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="BOLD" width="25%">Current industry experience</td><td valign="top"><select size="4" class="FORMlong" multiple NAME="Question356_10_FormText"><option SELECTED VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Aerospace / Defense=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|246=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|1=X|???">Aerospace / Defense</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Banking / Investment=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|247=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|2=X|???">Banking / Investment</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Biotechnology=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|248=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|3=X|???">Biotechnology</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Educational=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|249=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|22=X|???">Educational</option><option SELECTED VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Electronic Equipment=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|250=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|4=X|???">Electronic Equipment</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Environmental=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|251=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|5=X|???">Environmental</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Healthcare=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|252=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|6=X|???">Healthcare</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Medical Equipment=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|253=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|7=X|???">Medical Equipment</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Semiconductor=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|254=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|4=X|???">Semiconductor</option><option SELECTED VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Technology (Other)=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|255=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|8=X|???">Technology (Other)</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Telecommunications=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|256=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|42=X|???">Telecommunications</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Web / Internet=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|257=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|8=X|???">Web / Internet</option><option VALUE="AnswerName&amp;=|Wireless Systems=X|%%%AnswerValue&amp;=|258=X|%%%GDEAnswerValue&amp;=|8=X|???">Wireless Systems</option></select><br><span class="EXPLANATORYtext">Select up to 5 industries in which you have experience.</span></td> Problem prevents proper completion of forms where multiple selections can and should be made.
form controls.... this has nothing to do with XML, does it?

I do not know what it has to do with, but I encounterit on any form that permits multiple values to be selected for any particular "field".
