<listitem>
<simpara>enlarge both list width to 300 pixels. Default width is only 100 pixels.</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>change background colors element.</simpara>

Lets review this example step by step :

Line 23 :

<listitem>
<para>
At the beginning we creates a HTML_Quickform object that will contain the objects
representing elements and all the other necessary information.
We only pass the form's name to the constructor, which means that
default values will be used for other parameters.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
Lines 39, 41, 72 :

<listitem>
<simpara>
Our form will consist of three elements:
</simpara>
<para>
The first one is not the <quote>real</quote> element, it is just a heading
to improve presentation.
The second one is our advmultiselect element. Note that parameters for
<methodname>HTML_Quickform::addElement()</methodname> method have different meanings
for different elements. That is so because they are actually passed to
these elements' constructors.

Lines 26-36 :

<listitem>
<para>
The <varname>$fruit_array</varname> variable sets the default values (code, label)
for the <emphasis>fruit</emphasis> advmultiselect element.
</para>
</listitem>

It's time to define the fruit element attributes:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

size

<listitem>
<simpara>Give count of visible item in each list. Default is 10.</simpara>

style

<listitem>
<simpara>The select boxes width in pixel. Default is 100.</simpara>
</listitem>

<listitem>
<simpara>A CSS class identifier to override the look and feel. There is no default.</simpara>

To put headers on each list (wherever you want: at top, or bottom),
you need first to set these values. Then second, defines the placeholder
in the template (as any other multi-label element).
</para>
<para>
<important>
<para>
Placeholders <emphasis role="bold">{label_2}, {label_3}</emphasis> are used,
in the same way, for all

<varlistentry>
<term>
Lines 47, 62 and 50, 63 :
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Last step to complete definition of a advmultiselect element is to set the
<emphasis>add</emphasis> and <emphasis>remove</emphasis> buttons.
</para>
<para>
Here we gave names <literal>Add >></literal> and <literal> << Remove</literal>,
with a skin handled by the <literal>inputCommand</literal> CSS class.
</para>
<para>
<warning>
<para>
Placeholders <emphasis role="bold">{add}, {remove}</emphasis> must exists
into the template. Without them you won't see the move buttons.

Line 110 :

<listitem>
<para>
Before to validate and process the form, the building form step need one more thing.
Don't forget, that to manage swaps between both list, we need some javascript code.
It's now time to include into our HTML stream/template.
</para>
<para>
<note>
<para>
By given the <constant>false</constant> value as argument to the
<methodname>getElementJs()</methodname> method, we have choosen to build javascript code with
its script tags. Default behavior is to get only raw code without surrounding script tags.
May be usefull with template integration and existing js code.

<listitem>
<para>
This is a simple display example. In your scripts you'll usually want
to store the values somewhere or do whatever else. The
<link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="&url.pear.manual;en/package.html.html-quickform.html-quickform.process.php">
HTML_Quickform::process()

Line 121 :

<listitem>

The last line is pretty easy.
If the form is not valid, which means that it either was not yet submitted
or that there were errors, it will be displayed.
