I''m trying to get one of those 2-column select lists (where there''s an "Add>>" and a "<<Remove" button between them) working for a Rails application. First of all, what the heck is this thing called? You''d list all of the available items in one select list, and the selected ones in the other. Items move from one list to the other, but can''t be in both (mutually exclusive). This would be an alternative to a huge list of checkboxes. An example: http://www.mikenimer.com/downloads/examples/89C5C90F-4E22-1671-56455682AC423A19/index.cfm Has anyone done something like this in Rails yet? The submit would be tricky as it would need to pass back the id''s that are in the "selected" list. Also keeping state after an error returns you to the page might be a little difficult...

thanks, this looks good, very clean. It''s not super complicated, but I didn''t want to reinvent the wheel.
