Tag dynamiclist

Custom tag to generate all HTML code necessary to display dynamic list control that allows to type an item and then add it to the list, edit the items already in the list and reorder the items in the list. The first row will display edit field + optional checkbox + Add button. Below it will be displayed multiselect list with buttons Remove, Up and Down. The initial content of the list will be specified in the page using standard options tags. The values of the option tags can contain optional id that is different from the displayed text and an optional order number of the item. If the id and order number are specified, they must be specified in the value parameter of the options tag in the following format: id:order.

Example: 
<dialog:dynamiclist buffername="DYNAMIC_LIST_5" focus="true" size="7" listlabel="Changed label for list of added items" check="true" checklabel="Correct" checkidentifier="@"> <option value="id1:order1">added item 1</option> <option value="id1:order1">added item 2</option> <option value="id1:order1">added item 3</option> </dialog:dynamiclist>
