Dual dropdown lists, add and remove
Hey folks,
I'm fairly new to ASP, and have just begun developing my first website in it before I move on to ASP.NET (but this first one has been requested to be in classic ASP). A certain function of the website would require a function for a user to select a number of areas of expertise which he/she is proficient in, and from a user perspective, this would be easier to use if it was designed as two dropdown lists next to each other, one with available areas of expertise (such as HTML, CSS, ASP, SQL etc) and another list into which the areas the user chooses are inserted by selecting an option from the lefthand list and then clicking a "Add" button.
Is this doable? I'm working with classic ASP and MySQL, the thought is that those areas available will be retrieved from the database and displayed in the lefthand list (not a problem, I got that part functioning) and then "Add" and "Remove" buttons to alter the righthand list, which values will on submit be inserted into the database.
It is much like the Blocking interface for MSN Instant Messenger, if you are familiar with that.
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Endelee
