Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion, I had a play with this plugin, I think that
I will go ahead with a combination of the solutions.
One thing though:
I could get the:
{{plugin_multiselect_include())}}
function to work, I ended up including the files separately.
Where should I have placed this comand?
It appeared that the response.files.append added a "//" to the start
of the JS files.
Is there any documentation on this feature?
Cheers
Michael
