jQuery Ajax: Move Multiple ListBox Items From One ListBox To Other

This article will show you how you can move listbox multiple items from one listbox to another list box using jQuery without page refresh. This you can use in MVC, Asp.Net and HTML applications.

So for this article first we will add the jQuery library reference into the header of the page.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

Now check the below jquery code. This will help us to move the listbox items from one list box to other.

<script>     function MoveListBoxItem(fromId, toId) {         $("#" + fromId + " option:selected").remove().appendTo("#" + toId);     } </script>

Here in above code I have passed the from and to control it. On this bases of these two id we will take decision where we need to move the id. After this we will add two listbox controls and button control.

<table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td style="width:48%">Un-Selected</td> <td rowspan="2" style="width:4%"> <input type="button" value=">>" onclick="javascript: MoveListBoxItem('UnSelectedItem', 'SelectedCountryID')" /><br /> <input type="button" value="<<" onclick="javascript: MoveListBoxItem('SelectedCountryID', 'UnSelectedItem')" /> </td> <td>Selected</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <select id="UnSelectedItem" multiple="multiple" name="UnSelectedItem" style="width:100%"> <option value="1">India</option> <option value="2">Pakistan</option> <option value="3">Nepal</option> <option value="4">United States</option> </select> </td> <td> <select id="SelectedCountryID" multiple="multiple" name="SelectedCountryID" style="width:100%"></select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </td> </tr> </table>

In above html code I have added two lists and on the button click I have passed the id of controls where we need to move the data. Now lets check the output.
