If i press the button "MOVE UP", it will go to the top of the select
box.
If i press the button "MOVE DOWN", it will go to the bottom of the
select box.

The selected values that the user select will still be selected, even
if i press up or down.

It works in firefox....but not IE ? coz the scrollTop does not work in
IE.....
Is there any other way ?

Here the source :

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<script type="text/javascript">

var bw = new lib_bwcheck()
function lib_bwcheck()
{
this.ver = navigator.appVersion
this.agent = navigator.userAgent
this.dom = document.getElementById?1:0
this.opera5 = this.agent.indexOf("Opera 5")>-1
this.ie5 = (this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5")>-1 && this.dom &&
!this.opera5)?1:0;
this.ie6 = (this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 6")>-1 && this.dom &&
!this.opera5)?1:0;
this.ie4 = (document.all && !this.dom && !this.opera5)?1:0;
this.ie = this.ie4||this.ie5||this.ie6
this.mac = this.agent.indexOf("Mac")>-1
this.ns6 = (this.dom && parseInt(this.ver) >= 5) ?1:0;
this.ns4 = (document.layers && !this.dom)?1:0;
this.bw = (this.ie6 || this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ns4 || this.ns6
|| this.opera5)
return this;
}

function moveBar(id, pos)
{
lb = document.getElementById(id);
arr = getMultiple(lb);
if (bw.ie)
{ if (pos == "top")
{ lb.selectedIndex = 0;
}
else
{ lb.selectedIndex = lb.length - 1;
lb.selectedIndex = -1;
}
}
else
{ if (pos == "top")
lb.scrollTop = 0;
else
lb.scrollTop = 50;
}
}

function getMultiple(lb)
{
var keep_array = new Array();
for (var i=0;i<Number(lb.length);i++)
{ if (lb.options[i].selected == true)
{ keep_array.push(i);
}
}
return keep_array;
}

</script>

<body>
<table width="200" border="0">

AFAIK, the pronoun "I" is always spelled "I".

"Does not work" is a useless error description. [psf 4.11]

The `script' element must be child of the `head' or the `body' element.

Example code would have sufficed.

You understand incorrectly. I have told you before, before you decide to
be pedantic about a language and it's intricacies, you should endeavor
to understand that language and its dialects.

But for the record, it is not misspelled. It is mis-capitalized. Huge
difference.

As is this entire reply from you.

Again, So freaking what? It's irrelevant to the question.

And when browsers encounter that code, it will close the head and open
the body. But it's irrelevant. As is the rest of your reply. If you
can't help, then troll elsewhere.

You need to fix that site, it reports my information incorrectly.

It was given if you had bothered to look at it. But that is to be
expected from you.

No doctype declaration.

All of the above function is definitively not recommendable and not
good. There is now a wide consensus among experienced web developers
that browser detection based on user-agent string detection is
unreliable, wrong, difficult, tedious to manage.

Do not post long excerpts of code; best is to post an url showing the
problem and then ask a few questions. You will get assistance from this
newsgroup if you post the best helpful message (for readers wishing to
read your post and assist you).

No. Those with off-line newsreaders do not appreciate that approach.

Best is to simplify the problematic code until it is short enough to
post, checking that in the simplified form the problem still occurs.

Quite often, the solution will become obvious in the simplification.

Your cited approach is second best.
