How to copy a multi-select item?

Hi all!
 
I am working on developing a scon to copy an Account just like the copy button on Opportunity scene.
But a multi -select item was found not  be copied well
 
For Example, The original item has  multi-selected  a,b and c. the copied item will be shown as "a;b;c"  in one row.
 
 
The source code of the s-con is as following.
 
<body onLoad="document.myForm.submit()">
<form method="POST" action="/001/e" name="myForm">
<input type=hidden name="RecordType" id="RecordType" value="012100000008S5Z">
 
<input type=hidden name="00N10000000IlGg" id="00N10000000IlGg" value="{!Account_MHFGSections3}">

</body> 
 
Bye the way, I knew that the same problem could be done by using URL as following
But for this case I have over 50 choices, so the URL pattern will not work .
 
Could  anybody  give me a hint?

Ywang / Community,

I'm looking for the exactly the same type of solution.

Did you ever get a solution for this problem?  Anybody?

Thanks,

Anthony

Ywang,

Your code got me going in the right direction, I like the Form/Submit technique.  Below is a method that worked pretty well.  This S-Control runs in the same browser windows (not a popup).

The trick is to parse the semi-colon delimited value then write a form variable line for each value.

I am processing 4 different mult-select picklists in the code below.  I tested it with blank, 1 and multiple values.

Hope this helps!

Anthony
