Hi,  
I want to select some users from ‘n’ number of user,  
where, right now I’m using textboxes which take search criteria and  
populating a list box.

I want to replace the whole thing with an LOV(list of values) feature  
wherein I can have just a search button which will popup a window and  
take my search criteria in text box and populate the values in same  
window so that i can select from them and when i click on submit,  
the values selected must be selected for next operation.

How can i achieve that?  
Is there any plugin?  
Any help is greatly appreciated  
Thanks.
