Ours has a different style of interface, though, and will probably appeal to a different audience. I prefer our solution because it presents your selections so far in a single place where you can more easily find them again and easily deselect them as well. Their implementation also has an acknowledged layering issue in IE6, although I'm sure that's not an issue for every site. I did do some googling for this yesterday and was surprised not to find another version right away. I also checked the jQuery UI library to make sure they didn't have an official one there (they don't). Thanks for pointing out one I missed. er0k, That’s a pretty nifty implementation which meets a lot of the same goals, in particularly getting rid of the need for the hated “hold down the control key” nonsense.

You guys should put this into a jQuery plugin on the jQuery site. Very cool stuff! You guys should put this into a jQuery plugin on the jQuery site.
