I have a question on your second issue. What if the user selected something besides 'other' for example 'Math', and also entered a value in the provided "Other" text input field. How would the validation change to make sure the user selected 'other'?

I was able to use the method by which you referenced the SELECT element to streamline the validation. It is simple, just to see if anything was selected.<BR/><BR/>if (form_name["multiple_select_name[]"].value == "")<BR/> {<BR/> alert("Please choose at least one option.");<BR/> form_name["multiple_select_name[]"].focus();<BR/> return (false);<BR/> }

How did you model that "Other" custom field in your database design? e.g. I'm assuming your multi-select list items were each rows in a table...but did that custom value the user could enter go in that same table?
