The original author is Jamie Alessio <Jamie.Alessio@ucop.edu>, CCed on this message. I did some talking with him and I've also created my own copy of this element. I don't remember exactly what I changed.... I know that I added the ability to double click on either select box to move elements from one side to the other (which I find very nice) and put quotes around HTML attributes as well. http://pear.reversefold.com/DualMultiSelect.phps One thing I'd still like to see if a template of some kind so that people can change the layout easily. I, for example, removed the border around the element, moved the buttons on top of each other, and added headers above the select boxes. I'm sure others would also like to change the layout entirely and change the text on the buttons, etc. -- Justin Patrin
