forms - What is the best UI for multi-selecting from a list?


We have a web form and one of the fields is a multi-select list. Our options are:



  1. List of checkboxes

  2. Listview (select box but allowing multi-select)


Both seem to be a bit ugly and unwieldy when the list contains more than 100 items.



Is there any other UI solution that's better for such a case?



Answer



One alternative that I've seen in a number of places is to have two adjacent lists, one with available items and one with selected items.


Here's an example from OpenFaces.org that I found with a quick google search:
