Looking for some great examples of multi-select drop downs that work across browsers. I know they're out there and I've found a few but I'm sure I've missed somthing.
the first one that comes to mind is twitter.com's list drop down. it puts check boxes in the dropdown to clarify that you can indeed select more than one list.
Google Reader has a drop-down for managing a feed. Among other things, it lets you assign the feed to one or more folders. It does this by means of a check mark next to the folder name. Clicking a folder toggles the check mark and closes the menu.

@Matthew, I dont believe there is a standard multi select dropdown
component that works cross browsers. JQuery offers a couple of
variations of the multi-select box which seems to work fine in IE, FF,
Safari & Chrome at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8316573/index.html and
http://plugins.jquery.com/plugin-tags/multiple-select.
Here's the the Google Reader implementation of the multi-select, it
isnt obvious and rather unintuitive imo, check,

I am attaching a file to a thread for the first time, so here goes.
Anyway, it does depend on what the task is, but this one has many applications. It does use unobtrusive JavaScipt to function.
