I wrote some code that will grab the selected items and place them at the
top of the list, then list below that all unselected items -- it actually
works pretty well and is (of course) browser independent.
If anyone is curious on how this is done -- I've put some sample code below
as an example:
<?
$states = array('ca'=>'California','nv'
=>'Navada','tx'=>'Texas','ri'=>'Rhode Island,'co'=>'Colorado');
$mySelections = 'ca,tx,ri';
$selectedItems = explode(',', $mySelections);
/* This 1st FOREACH command builds the list showing only selected items
(at the top) */
foreach($states as $key=$value)
{
if(in_array($key, $selectedItems))
{
print('<option value="' . $key . '"' . selected .'>' . $value);
print("\n");
}
}
/* This 2nd FOREACH command builds the list, omitting any SELECTED items
*/
foreach($states as $key=>$value)
{
/* If $key is in the array $selectedItems then CONTINUE the loop
here (skipping the print commands) */
if(in_array($key, $selectedItems))
continue;
print('<option value="' . $key . '">' . $value);
print("\n");
}
Thanks.
