You would think that someone would have needed this functionality. In a nutshell, all I wanted to do was have a nifty little page where a user can select items from list a to be in list b. Then order th items in list b up and down. The same way you can choose news stories on http://my.yahoo.com or set up web pages for phone with SprintPCS’ manager (http://www.sprintpcs.com).
So this pissy part has bene finding a way, in javascript, to tell the form that all the items on the list have to be posted to the next page. Is there a “selectAll” function? fsck no. You have to itterate through the entire list, marking each item as select.
If this weren’t bad enough, you also have to specify that it’s a multiple select list – *BEFORE* submission.
Anyway, that’s about 10 hours of hair pulling, doc reading, and teeth gnashing that’s done. And the client will be happy, I hope.
