select list behavior ?

Andy Knipp

OK, so I have a list of features of an item. The list is about 30 entries and a typical selection is 10-15.

I have implemented this with a straight select list.

The issue is that if there are 12 already selected and I want to add #13 I need to remember to hold the control button down before I choose the entry or I will lose the previous 12 selections.

Is this behavior controllable at all ? I can see it becoming a big issue with the end users.

I have written something before that has 2 lists with add and remove buttons. This allows someone to add choices without messing up the current list. I am assuming I will need to do that in this case.
