Quick snippet, assumes you have two select lists ID’d #select 1 and #select2, as well as two buttons with IDs #add and #remove.

 $().ready(function() {  
     $('#add').click(function() {  
        return !$('#select1 option:selected').remove().appendTo('#select2');  
     });  
     $('#remove').click(function() {  
        return !$('#select2 option:selected').remove().appendTo('#select1');  
     });  
 });
