Multi Select - Link Property
I was wondering if anyone knows how to setup a multi-select option within link properties, so when users are adding a link they will be able to select the options as desired.

I am wanting to setup multiselect option like :
http://www.philwebb.com/code/list_box.asp

The options I plan to use are:
  • DOS
  • Windows 95
  • Windows 98
  • Windows Me
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows 2003
  • Windows XP
  • Mac OS X
  • Palm OS
  • Unix / Linux
  • Others

HERE IS THE JAVA SCRIPT CODE [between the <head> tag]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
// PickList II script (aka Menu Swapper)- By Phil Webb (http://www.philwebb.com)
// Visit JavaScript Kit (http://www.javascriptkit.com) for this JavaScript and 100s more
// Please keep this notice intact
function move(fbox, tbox) {
var arrFbox = new Array();
var arrTbox = new Array();
var arrLookup = new Array();
var i;
for(i=0; i<tbox.options.length; i++) {
arrLookup[tbox.options.text] = tbox.options.value;
arrTbox = tbox.options.text;
}
var fLength = 0;
var tLength = arrTbox.length
for(i=0; i<fbox.options.length; i++) {
arrLookup[fbox.options.text] = fbox.options.value;
if(fbox.options.selected && fbox.options.value != "") {
arrTbox[tLength] = fbox.options.text;
tLength++;
} else {
arrFbox[fLength] = fbox.options.text;
fLength++;
}
}
arrFbox.sort();
arrTbox.sort();
fbox.length = 0;
tbox.length = 0;
var c;
for(c=0; c<arrFbox.length; c++) {
var no = new Option();
no.value = arrLookup[arrFbox[c]];
no.text = arrFbox[c];
fbox[c] = no;
}
for(c=0; c<arrTbox.length; c++) {
var no = new Option();
no.value = arrLookup[arrTbox[c]];
no.text = arrTbox[c];
tbox[c] = no;
}
}
function selectAll(box) {
for(var i=0; i<box.length; i++) {
box.selected = true;
}
}
</script>
