lists side by side

nipper

Not certain how to do this, but I need to make a template with a scrolling list that has lots of items (say 100), customer wants:

|------------| |---------------|
| item1 | | selected 1 |
| item2 | | selected 2 |
| item3 | | selected 3 |
|------------| |---------------|

So two lists. if item 1 is highlighted and you click Add, it should go to the selected list.

Moving between the 2 by button click is not too tough. But how can I put a list, two buttons and a list in a single row ?

Tips/Pointers/RTFMs appreciated

You could come up with a fairly ugly approximation by have two selects, each with a callout that used formapi to handle the event. Use rowcontinue=t to get them on the same line. I bet you would never get an aesthetically pleasing result, though.

When I've done similar things, I've always used a CGI callout to bring up the list interface, and then set saved values back into a readonly item in the DCT. It means an extra click for the user when they want to edit, though.
