[jQuery] multiple selects put into an array is this easy?


hullo,
I am new to js and jquery ... and have got into a mess trying to
find a way to do this.
I have a large table and I want to be able to select multiple entries
from one column... using the usual ctrl and shift keys to either
select continuous groups or multiple individual entries. So as the
user selects more values they are added to an array( which will
ultimately be sent via jquery json to a db )
I do not want to use the html select multiple and submit method
because there are too many possible choices , , so jquery seemed the
answer
Any help gratefully received
