This is a port and a rehabilitation of the JQuery.comboselect.
The plugin transforms a multi-select from a single element to side by side multi-selects. You can move selections from one select to another instead of highlighting them in single. Look at the example. This will make a lot more sense, I assure you.
As part of the transformation, your select is hidden, but updated as you double-click or select and press the add/remove buttons.
Shown with default options as options
$(#my_multi_select_box).comboselect({
sort: 'both', // sort which sides? 'none'|'left'|'right'|'both' -> based on original select's order
addremall : true, // include the add/remove all buttons
add_allbtn: ' >> ', // label for the "add all" button
rem_allbtn: ' << ', // label for the "remove all" button
addbtn: ' > ', // label for the "add" button
rembtn: ' < ', // label for the "remove" button
cs_container: 'div', // html tag to contain both comboselects
btn_container: 'div' // html tag to contain the comboselect buttons
});
To set for legeacy compatibility, define the following after you include the plugin, but before you 'wire' it to anything:
jQuery.fn.comboselect.defaults = {
sort: 'both',
addremall : false,
addbtn: ' > ',
rembtn: ' < ',
cs_container: 'fieldset',
btn_container: 'fieldset'
};
This method can be used for any defaults you prefer, so you do not have to set options on each use of the comboselect.
