The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
Dual Listbox
In my work, I came across the need for a web control that would allow me to have two <select> elements, and be able to easily transfer <option> elements between them. The idea is to have a base list of options, from which you can choose a subset to be saved, or whatever you might wish to do with them. As a perk, I decided to add the extra feature of filters, which can be used to search for items contained within either box. With this plug-in, all you have to do is create the HTML structure, in whatever configuration you like, and give the elements of the control IDs. The plug-in will do the rest of the work for you.
Features include:
- Ability to either move items from one list to another or copy items from one list to another
- List filtering, including a display of how many items are showing out of the total
- Moving a list of selected items from one list to the other with a button.
- Moving all items from one list to another with a button.
- Moving single items by double-clicking on them.
