List box transfer

[Shabam]

I'm looking for a way to code two list boxes with a button in between them.
When I select an item from the left list and click the ">" I want that item
to move to the list box to the right (alphabetically), and get deleted off
the list on the left. Also if I select an item on the right and click the
"<" button, I want that item to disappear off the list on the right and
appear on the left (alphabetically).

I'm doing this so that I can take the values on the right list and send out
mail to those people.

Is there done code for this or a web tutorial somewhere? Thanks in advance.

possible but too fragile and critical to implement client side and not
really practical for server side.

use a <select> that allows multiple selections. example:

<select size="5" name="emailto" multiple>
<option value="whatever1">bob</option>
<option value="whatever2">john</option>
<option value="whatever3">emma</option>
<option value="whatever4">sally</option>
<option value="whatever5">god</option>
</select>

probably not the best idea. assumes people know how to use their
browsers. checkboxes would probably be the most foolproof

Here's a good example:
