Hello,
I have two select list boxes and i can move items back and forth between them using the forward (--) and backward (<--) button.
However, if there are no items in
a select list, it shrinks in
size horizontally. Any way to keep the select list
a fixed
size, irrespective of whether it contains any options or not ?
Below is the code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="
JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var NS4 = (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && parseInt(navigator.appVersion) < 5);
function addOption(theSel, theText, theValue)
{
var newOpt = new Option(theText, theValue);
var selLength = theSel.length;
theSel.options[selLength] = newOpt;
}
function deleteOption(theSel, theIndex)
{
var selLength = theSel.length;
if(selLength>0)
{
theSel.options[theIndex] = null;
}
}
function moveOptions(theSelFrom, theSelTo)
{
var selLength = theSelFrom.length;
var selectedText = new Array();
var selectedValues = new Array();
var selectedCount = 0;
var i;
// Find the selected Options in reverse order
// and delete them from the 'from' Select.
for(i=selLength-1; i>=0; i--)
{
if(theSelFrom.options[i].selected)
{
selectedText[selectedCount] = theSelFrom.options[i].text;
selectedValues[selectedCount] = theSelFrom.options[i].value;
deleteOption(theSelFrom, i);
selectedCount++;
}
}
// Add the selected text/values in reverse order.
// This will add the Options to the 'to' Select
// in the same order as they were in the 'from' Select.
for(i=selectedCount-1; i>=0; i--)
{
addOption(theSelTo, selectedText[i], selectedValues[i]);
}
if(NS4) history.go(0);
}
//-->
