Question

So I have a MultiSelect box with x values which I need the ability to move to another MultiSelect box and vise versa.

<select class="boxa" multiple="multiple">
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

<select class="boxb" multiple="multiple">

</select>

Need to move all or one of the values of boxa to boxb on a button click, also with the ability to move the values back from boxb to boxa.

Does jQuery have anything like this or is this a custom snippet of code?

Answer 1

There’s a jquery plugin called crossSelect which seems to do what you want.

jQuery doesn’t have this built in, you would need to either find a plugin you like and use that, or write your own. (And of course you don’t have to use jQuery to write or use it, you could implement it in pure javascript if you like)
