[OT] HTML Select box
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!

>From a usability perspective, that seems kinda goofy, doesn't it? The user can
make multiple selections but can view at most one of them? If you don't have a
lot of items to display, perhaps a set of checkboxes (multibox) would be better?
If you end up with HTML like:
<select multiple="multiple" size="1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>
IE 6 gives you a single displayed item with scroll buttons while Moz 1.4 just
gives you something that looks like a textfield but can be scrolled with the
arrow keys. Not something I'd be too happy about using...

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

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.

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).
Could you send an example?
