Hello,
I think this is a tricky one...
I have a dropdown menu which is filled with products read from my db at
startup. So when the page first opens, the dropdown is filled with
+- 300 different products. I now want the user to be able to
either double click/click on a item OR highlight the item and then click on
another button which will then move/display that selected item in a
scrolling textbox WITHOUT having to refresh the screen - so I assume it
will have to be client-side script!!
This whole procedure will in other words work something like MS Outlook....
when you compose a new message, click on "TO", you can double click on
the items in your address book which then moves that item to the "Message Recipients" textbox.
Any help, tips, suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
T

You're the man...
Hey Ian,
Thanks for this, I thought it was difficult - obviously not!!
Just one more thing....
How can I change this code to display EVERYTHING, one after the other which I selected.
Ie. I select "hello", click button, select "world", click button, click "hello" again, click button
The result in the text area being...
hello
world
hello
Thanks,
T

If you change the javascript function to this
function MoveItem()
{
var textValue;
textValue = document.Test.TextBox.value;
textValue = textValue + ' ' + document.Test.ListBox.options[document.Test.ListBox.selectedIndex].value;
document.Test.TextBox.value = textValue;
}
it will do it
