A progressive enhancement to select multiple form elements. It provides a simpler alternative with the following advantages:

• Easier for users to understand and interact with than regular select multiple form elements. Users know how to interact with it sans instruction.
• Doesn't require user to Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click multiple elements. Instead users of your form can add or remove elements individually, without risk of losing those that have already been selected.
• Selected elements are always visible (within the confines of your interface) while unselected elements are always hidden (within a regular select).
• Unlike regular select multiple option elements, those on asmSelect are optionally sortable with drag and drop (this part requires jQuery UI).
• asmSelect hides, maintains and updates the original select multiple so that no changes are required to existing code.
• If a user does not have javascript, then of course the regular select multiple form element is used instead.
• If the original select multiple form element is modified by some other jQuery or javascript code, the change will be reflected in the asmSelect as well.
