 * get a hook on the buttons (> or < or >> or <<) of a Click PickList control.
 * call in domloaded() passing the name of the PickList and a js callBack method to be envoked.
 * the callBack method should have one parameter to receive the clicked button element.
 * an additional attribute ('forid') is also set on the button element, 
 * which will contain the requested PickList name.
 *
 * DEMO:
 * The Java Click component...
public Form form = new Form("myForm");
public PickList myPicker = new PickList("myPicker", "My Picker");
@Override
public void onInit() {
    super.onInit();
    form.add(myPicker);
}
 * Now for the JavaScript...
function domloaded() {
    attachToPickListButtons("myForm_myPicker", demoCallBack);
}
function demoCallBack(el) {
	if (!(typeof(el.forid) == 'undefined')) {
		var id = el.forid;
		var directionClicked = el.value; // > or < or >> or <<
		var toSelected = null != directionClicked.match(">");
		var moveAll = null != (directionClicked.match(">>") || directionClicked.match("<<"))
		var plh = new pickListHelper(id);

		var toString = "id = '" + id + "'\n";
		toString += "directionClicked = '" + directionClicked + "'\n";
		toString += "toSelected = '" + toSelected + "'\n";
		toString += "moveAll = '" + moveAll + "'\n";

		toString += "UnSelectedList = '" + typeof(plh.getUnSelectedList()) + "'\n";
		toString += "HiddenList = '" + typeof(plh.getHiddenList()) + "'\n";
		alert(toString);

		if (!moveAll) {
            if (confirm("Just for fun, let's move ALL items to " + (toSelected ? "unselected" : "selected") + " \n(opposite direction you just chose).")) {
                plh.moveAll(!toSelected);
            }
        }
	}
}
