Scaling select lists

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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 @

Has anyone applied a solution that users appreciated to overcome massive
select lists ?
