HTML multiple select box

I am just wondering what's the name of the below form? I was Googling from morning for the list of HTML forms but I couldn't find this kind of form anywhere. Can anyone tell me the exact name of this form and is this available in HTML forms?

enter image description here

I just want to add this kind of form in my website. Is that available for HTML or should I use JavaScript or its only limited for Windows applications?

Here's a little sample to get you started: http://jsfiddle.net/eUDRV/3/

This example will move items (one or multiple) from the left to the right and back again. Whatever item(s) are selected in the right side will update the textbox on the right side.

We are using the elements:

  • select
  • input type="button"
  • input type="text"

Framed by:

  • div
  • section

Styled with simple CSS. Functionality is provided with JavaScript.

I'm using the jQuery library to make things a little easier. This could also be done with pure JavaScript.

$("#btnLeft").click(function () {      var selectedItem = $("#rightValues option:selected");      $("#leftValues").append(selectedItem);  });    $("#btnRight").click(function () {      var selectedItem = $("#leftValues option:selected");      $("#rightValues").append(selectedItem);  });    $("#rightValues").change(function () {      var selectedItem = $("#rightValues option:selected");      $("#txtRight").val(selectedItem.text());  });
SELECT, INPUT[type="text"] {      width: 160px;      box-sizing: border-box;  }  SECTION {      padding: 8px;      background-color: #f0f0f0;      overflow: auto;  }  SECTION > DIV {      float: left;      padding: 4px;  }  SECTION > DIV + DIV {      width: 40px;      text-align: center;  }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  <section class="container">      <div>          <select id="leftValues" size="5" multiple></select>      </div>      <div>          <input type="button" id="btnLeft" value="&lt;&lt;" />          <input type="button" id="btnRight" value="&gt;&gt;" />      </div>      <div>          <select id="rightValues" size="4" multiple>              <option>1</option>              <option>2</option>              <option>3</option>          </select>          <div>              <input type="text" id="txtRight" />          </div>      </div>  </section>
