This works nicely thanks!
One thing though...the line in the else statement:
element.attachEvent( 'on' + type, handler );
is giving me a runtime type mismatch error in IE7.
What does it do really. When I comment it out, things seem to continue
to work ;-)

But if I have a JavaScript function say:
function myFunction() {

and if I call this function on page load either by using

then the double-list box stops working.
This is most likely because CForms adds its own initialization
function using the same onload property, so adding yours overwrites it.
Nowadays it's best practice to avoid using on[event] properties, and
use instead the DOM2 event methods (forking for IE's nonstandard event
model.) Any of the common javascript libraries will handle this for
you behind the scenes, or you can write a simple abstraction function:
function addEvent( element, type, handler ) {
if( element.addEventListener ) {
element.addEventListener( type, handler, false );
} else {
element.attachEvent( 'on' + type, handler );
}
}
addEvent( window, 'load', myFunction );
addEvent( window, 'load', myOtherFunction );
//etc...
This allows you to add as many listeners as you want rather than being
limited to one.
