    You restrict the size of your list via CSS. The list will have scrollbars.

    --shmem 

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

      Yes i see what you mean that can be done, and if wedo it thsi way there is no need for Javascipt code now, right?

        Right. With a multi-select widget, your users select all items they want, optionally enter an item into the entry field for not listed items, and hit "submit". But that way they can only request one additional item at a time.

        Workaround for that limitation would be providing a textbox where they can enter more things, one per line. But that would mean that you have to parse the contents of the textbox.

        --shmem 

        _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
