Javascript replacement for select multiple form element. It works in an unobtrusive fashion, by hiding the ugly and frustrating html multiple select form field, and showing a sexier face to the world. There's no extra markup needed and it doesn't change the drupal form api (FAPI).
The Dualselect Widget has a crisp clean and intuitive interface that makes it easier and quicker for users to select multiple options by visually separating selected options into their own bin. The widget also provides a search feature that makes it very quick to filter a list and select option subsets.
The widget implements multiple familiar methods for moving options into and out of the selected bin.
- Double clicking on an option
- Selecting option(s) and hitting enter
- Selecting option(s) and clicking the move button
- Filtering the list and clicking the move-all button
The admin page also allows you to target specific classes or pages so you can use the interface when and where you want it without it taking over your site completely.
