Rodney,
   I'll give it a shot...Thanx!

Tom,
   I did also try onChange originally, but it still wasn't playing nice...

Cheers,

Tired of solving my own problems today, so I had a go at yours!

This "works" in my IE5.5 and NN4.7 but behaves differently.
IE scrolls to the bottom, NN to the top, after clicking an option

NN did not trigger restore function until mouse clicked away form select -
the
first time, but thereafter restored the selections immediately after a
click.

Good thing about it is it uses very old type code, but that is probably the
bad
thing about it too!. I have no doubt others could do better.

<html><head>
<title>Multi List that does not allow selection</title>
</head>
<body onload="storeMulti()">
<script language="JavaScript">
var A= new Array();
function storeMulti(){
var List=window.document.forms[0].mySelect;
var myOptions=List.options;
for(var i=0;i<myOptions.length;i++)
 {A[i]=myOptions[i].selected;}
}

function restoreMulti(List){
var myOptions=List.options;
for(var i=0;i<myOptions.length;i++)
 {myOptions[i].selected=A[i];}
}
</script>

<form  method='post'>
<select name="mySelect" size="10" onChange="restoreMulti(this)" multiple>
<option>aaaaaaa</option>
