I need to allow the user to MultiSelect within a DetailsView.

How can I acheive this?

Currently they can only select 1 item per entry as shown below.

 

for multi select i think you should replace DropDownList with CheckBoxList, so that user can simple tick the items he wants to select.

thanks 

Can you assist in replicating my original script to a CheckBoxList

Thanks

here is the updated code,

                                                datatextfield="religion" runat="server"
                           AppendDataBoundItems = "True">
                           select faith group...
                     
              

thanks

here is the updated code,

  id="relig" datasourceid="SqlDataSource1" AutoPostBack="true" datatextfield="religion" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems = "True">  Value="0">select faith group...  

thanks

because the datasource contains over 30 available options, its over two page long... i think this option would work, if there was only a small options.

Can i set it as a scrollbar or something?

any assistance please
