Alternate Select Multiple Form Elements
Posted · Category: Forms, GPL License
Alternate Select Multiple (asmSelect) is a progressive enhancement to <select multiple> form elements. It provides a simpler alternative of with the following advantages:
- Easier for users to understand and interact with than regular <select multiple> form elements. Users know how to interact with it sans instruction.
- Doesn’t require user to Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click multiple elements. Instead users of your form can add or remove elements individually, without risk of losing those that have already been selected.
- Selected elements are always visible (within the confines of your interface) while unselected elements are always hidden (within a regular <select>).
- Unlike regular <select multiple> option elements, those on asmSelect are optionally sortable with drag and drop (this part requires jQuery UI).
- If a user does not have javascript, then of course the regular <select multiple> form element is used instead.
