java 的奇怪行为

Question

I have a form named abc with multiple dropdown elements named as splitOption .html of this element is something like this-

<select title="Split Delivery for EO2135VX" name="splitOption"  onchange="splitDelivery('2','trId2',this.value,'5000','N',this,0,'DIST');"> 
    <option value="" selected=""></option>
    <option value="2">Split 2 deliveries</option>
    <option value="3">Split 3 deliveries</option>
    <option value="4">Split 4 deliveries</option>
    <option value="5">Split 5 deliveries</option>
</select>

When I submit the form and try to get this value in my controller by this code

String[] arrSplitOption = request.getParameterValues("splitOption");

It gives me arrSplitOption = null in my logs, this issue is only in mozila , it's working fine in IE. I tried to alert the splitOption length just before submitting the form, it gave me correct value.
I don't know what's going wrong. can any body tell me what could be the reason behind this.

Answer 1

String[] arrSplitOption = request.getParameterValues("splitOption");

That shouldn't work unless you have multiple="multiple" in the <select/> . There'd be no reason for it return more than a single string without multiselect enabled on the select.
