Re: [OT] HTML Select box

[Brice Ruth]

right, but that's in a multi-select box, not in a drop-down select.

Quoting Brice Ruth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

 

From a GUI perspective, how would you select multiple things in a 
drop-down? I can't actually recall ever seeing this type of widget 
anywhere (irrespective of HTML).

   

In HTML, this is triggered by the "multiple" attribute on the <select> element. 
If you're using <html:select> tag, must add multiple="true".

In a browser, it's the usual technique for multiple selections -- shift-click
selects everything between the previous point and the current point, while
control-click adds the individual item you're currently pointing at.
 

Could you send an example?

Hi All,

Can't seem to find a way to do this, even though I've seen it done (I
think).  What I need is a HTML select box where the size parameter=1 (so I
get a true drop-down, not a scrolling box) AND the ability to select
multiple options within the select box.  Right now if I set the multiple
parameter I get a scrolling box.  I'm using an optionsCollection tag to
generate my option list (not that I think it has anything to do with my
problem  8-)  I suspect there is a JavaScript solution out there, but I
can't seem to google it.  Does anyone have any ideas?
TIA!
