I have updated the code and it should now work with all of the major browsers: IE, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.

The main issue is that IE does not support getElementsByName() with div tags. More info can be found here: http://jszen.blogspot.com/2004/07/whats-in-name.html

Thanks for the feedback. I have fixed issue #1.

It appears issue #2 is a Internet Explorer issue. With Firefox 3.5 and the latest version of Chrome it works fine. I will assume Safari works as well as it is built on the same code as Chrome. I’ll try to fix this but to be brutally honest javascript is probably my weakest area.

Thanks again for the comment.

Thanks, this is really helpful, and I really appreciate the post. However I did find some issues with the java JavaScript file.
1. Code above displays “<” instead of the greater than symbol (<) so copying and pasting it doesn’t work well.
2. Menu doesn’t disappear where you click somewhere else, nor on another multiselect button for some reason.

If you decide to update I would certainly like to know
