You can use selectedIndex to get the selected option number and instead of creating a new function to move down, why not just call the up function for the item below the one you want to move down?

This is great and a common thing thats needed. If you are wanting to order things to get them into a database then you will need all option selected before submitting to see all values in their order. Simple bit to add but thought I would post as it may help someone. Just call this function onsubmit of the form to select all options.

function checkThem ()
{
for (i=0;1<=document.getElementById('orderedList').options.length;i++)
{
document.getElementById('orderedList').options[i].selected=true;
}
}

I had found another way of doing this but this was much simpler and meant I code cut 10 lines of PHP code out reformatting the contents of a field.

Many thanks

Saved loads of dev time. Thanks. Slight bug in ie7 - the selected item won't move to the top position of the list. Solved by adding orderedList.focus(); after calling the moveup function on the button. Cool!

Tks for the example, very clear and didatic!

There is no insertAfter function but you can make the following code in moveOptionsDown function :

var nextOpt = selectOptions[i + 1]; selectList.removeChild(nextOpt );
selectList.insertBefore(nextOpt , selectOptions[i]);
