RDS Does Not Support Multiselect List Boxes

Multiselect list boxes are not supported by DHTML for data-binding. For example, RDS cannot be used to select authors in the list box on the Add/Edit Title page. The RDS control will fill (display) them but not let them be selected.

The CML application's code defines each search query. When RDS returns data it presents the record and fills all the list boxes but will not allow people to select authors and subjects in those list boxes. To work around this limitation, the CML uses code to select these text items using a separate method. To see the code that does this, see the Admin Wizard in the file AddTitles.asp. The Admin Wizard is also described in more detail in About AddTitles.asp.
