dojox.form.CheckedMultiSelect

Project owner:Nathan Toone
since:V1.2

A multi-select widget (similar to html select with multiple=true) that uses check boxes.

Introduction

This widget provides a more user-friendly mechanism for multi-selects (HTML select tags with multiple=true).

Usage

The CheckedMultiSelect is designed to replace existing HTML select elements with minimal effort. You can also create them programmatically.

Examples

A simple CheckedMultiSelect

This example shows a simple CheckedMultiSelect widget - converted from a select tag.

dojo.require("dojox.form.CheckedMultiSelect");
<select multiple="true" name="multiselect" data-dojo-type="dojox.form.CheckedMultiSelect">
      <option value="TN">Tennessee</option>
      <option value="VA" selected="selected">Virginia</option>
      <option value="WA" selected="selected">Washington</option>
      <option value="FL">Florida</option>
      <option value="CA">California</option>
 </select>
@import "{{baseUrl}}dojox/form/resources/CheckedMultiSelect.css";

A radio-based CheckedMultiSelect

By not specifying “multiple=true” in your widget, you will create a widget using radio buttons instead of check boxes.

dojo.require("dojox.form.CheckedMultiSelect");
<select data-dojo-id="ss1" name="ss1" data-dojo-type="dojox.form.CheckedMultiSelect">
      <option value="TN">Tennessee</option>
      <option value="VA" selected="selected">Virginia</option>
      <option value="WA">Washington</option>
      <option value="FL">Florida</option>
      <option value="CA">California</option>
</select>
@import "{{baseUrl}}dojox/form/resources/CheckedMultiSelect.css";
