What is the name of the html tool used for creating a list of objects from a select field. It usually looks like two boxes with an arrow in the middle. An example would be if you were creating a group and box A had a list of users and you would click on a name and then click the arrow in the middle. It would then add it to box B creating a unqiue group list. I am trying to find the name of this so I can find some examples online. Anyone know the name or where I can find some good examples?
It's called Picklist. Google gives good examples with that keyword: http://google.com/search?q=html+picklist. Good luck.
try this
Multi select transfer script
or this
Option transfer
HTML does not have this control built in. But many other environments provide it. Sometimes its called a doubleselect(struts2).

Can I sort class properties and methods alphabetically.
I found that: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9883-intellij-idea-properties-sorter
Is there any similar for PhpStorm?
First, to provide an answer to the question: Arrange your code automatically with PhpStorm (re)arranger.
To create a new rule, click the Add rule button in the upper right corner of the rules list. Configure it by type and modifier, add a name rule (like “init.*” or “*Test”) and/or set order type, if needed.
Now, in case someone is looking to sort selected text alphabetically, like I was trying to do, this might be able to help you: String Manipulation.
I wanted to select some text (like class imports in TypeScript) and order it alphabetically. I tried with the built-in code rearranger, but found it didn't work for just this simple purpose.

I need to implement a drop-down which has a delete 'X' option next to each option item. Somewhat like the image shown below.
The drop-down is populated dynamically and I need a way that does not inlvolve using list as an alternative.
EDIT: The icons next to each dropdown item refers to 'Edit'/'Delete'
You cannot put a checkbox into the usual <select> or multi-select HTML element.
However, here is another question where several good options are discussed.
This looks like the most useful and best suited to your purpose:

UPDATE:
Given that you need both the HTML markup and the javascript to make it do what you want, you have two (possibly 3) steps to do:
This answer provides a good example of how to create the custom-rolled <select> control.
This answer shows you how to replace the checkbox created in step 1 with an icon/image of your choosing.
The javascript to remove the x'd <option> is very simple:
$(this).closest('option').remove();
IF you also need to save these results, then you also need to learn:
4a. Server-side SESSIONS (so that each user's customizations are saved for them)
4b. A login system, so you know for which user to save the current customizations.
4c. Just the basics of how to use a back-end database, such as MySQL/MariaDB, in which to store the user customizations.
4d. AJAX - so you can schlep info to the back-end for insertion into the database without refreshing (or navigating away from) the current page. AJAX replaces the ancient and no-longer-used <form> construct. Frankly, once you've used AJAX a couple of times, you'll never go back. Totally easy.
If you are in a bind and need someone to create the whole thing for you, I refer you to one of these websites - I have used such services myself and can recommend them.
is there any ready widget like that?
If not, can I combine the dijit filteringSelect with dojox multichecked?
if not, is it easy to create one of my own or has any one started doing this? it's so necessary for my project.
There is no widget like that as far as I know (the multichecked widget itself is not even a standard widget, since it's a part from DojoX).
About your question of combining both. I don't think that will be easy, because the dijit/form/FilteringSelect does not use a <select> as widget and I don't think they're made to be ran together.
And the answer to your last question: it all depends on what functionality you exactly need. A dijit/form/FilteringSelect only allows you to select 1 value (it's a textbox with a dropdown in fact, and a textbox can only have 1 value).
If you want to create a variant with radio buttons, then that is possible, but it is not an easy job. The multichecked is working with a simple DOM node, however, the dijit/form/FilteringSelect offers a lot more things like autocomplete, stores, ... . To make your widget work, you need to listen to all these events and adapt yuur radio buttons to it.
I made a simple example that is only displaying radio buttons for each item in the filtering select, the code can be seen at JSFiddle. However, it does not react to changes, that's a part that you will have to implement.
I am stuck when it comes to adding more than one search element. I can get 1 search element to work using the Fusion tables layer wizard but any others added don't function? My website is called earthquakedamagemap.com. I'm trying to build a similar search function to that of newspapermap.com
It is my university project. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Try changing the id of your second select menu to search-string1. Then, in your changeMap1 function, pass 'search-string1' to the method document.getElementById().
which tag to use if i want to select an option from dropdown as wel as i can insert my own option.
using jsp can i do it? i m able to fetch the complete list to serve as option but i want to insert my own option as wel. what is the convenient technique using jsp? i mean like the way we insert into text box. i have seen in some sites that they provide options to choose and in one of the option you can fill ur own value plz help
I think I understand this question.
You are saying you have a select populated from server side JSP, but once the list is populated you would like to be able to add more options manually, by typing them in, almost like a combo-box?
There is a Microsoft Active X control that does this, but I would avoid this at ALL costs, simply because its not cross browser compatible.
You could try roll your own control, or look at the following:
Pay special attention to that last link, it uses jQuery so should be easy enough to implement. Ofc you're going to have to use some custom JSP to populate the control, but it should give you the desired effect.
