Hi there,

I made a script that posts the selected values to process.php. I got it working for the combobox (see snippet 1) and in the process.php file I can access the variable like this:

$example = ($_GET['example']) ?$_GET['example'] : $_POST['example'];

1.                 <div class="element">
                           <label>Example 1</label>
                           <select id="combobox" name="example">
                           <option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
                           <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
                           </select>
                   </div>
   
   

However, for the selectable I can't seem to figure out how I can access the values. Here's the relevant code:

1.         <script>
           $(function() {
                   $( "#selectable" ).selectable({
                           stop: function() {
                                   var result = $( "#select-result" ).empty();
                                   $( ".ui-selected", this ).each(function() {
                                           var value = $( this ).text();
                                           result.append( " #" + ( value ) );
                                   });
                           }
                   });
           });
           </script>
   
   

1.                 <div class="element">
                           <label>Example</label>
                           <br>
                           <ol id="selectable">
                                   <li class="ui-state-default">Option 1</li>
                                   <li class="ui-state-default">Option 2</li>
                                   <li class="ui-state-default">Option 3</li>
                           </ol>
                           <p id="feedback">
                           <span>You've selected:</span> <span id="select-result">none</span>.
                           </p>
                   </div>
   
   

Any suggestions how I can get the values? Thanks in advance!
