Re: [QF] Advanced Select

Current Task: I want to customize the above into one single element/group, a bit like hierselect customize 2 select into one element. Question: has this kind of element/group been already done by someone? Seems to me it is fairly useful when one needs to select multiple entries from a very long list. The usability of a single select with multiple=true is not good enough.

Well, I did such stuff myself, but did not do it good/abstract enough to include it in QuickForm distribution. BTW, how exactly do you handle submitting the form? Do you select everything in select (B) via javascript?

Question: is there a tutorial on how to do user-defined elements? is it in the doc and I've missed it?

There is no good tutorial currently. :[ There is a description of base HQ_element class in the docs: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.html-quickform-element.php Besides, look at the date and hierselect elements, their code may push you in the right direction. Feel free to ask questions here also.
