When working with select lists that grow over time, what are some solutions people have applied to the problem of massive select lists? This is pretty cumbersome for the users to navigate. They end up scrolling up and down and getting annoyed. Example: <select name=Contacts[] multiple size=10> <option name="Contacts[]" value="474" selected>fred <option name="Contacts[]" value="475" selected>bob ... 800 more <option lines> </select> I've considered going to dual select boxes like the one @ http://www.philwebb.com/code/list_box.asp Has anyone applied a solution that users appreciated to overcome massive select lists ? _____ Chris Gregors We have the courage to innovate Potestatem Obscuri Lateris Nescis
