Adding value to List and Reading the list on submit

Question

Hi all,
I want to create a page where it would have two region.
Region 1 --> Contain the list of employee (report region)
This will have a search box with java script enabled to perform search without submitting the page.
And a link on the employee name, which when clicked the page should add the employee to the second region (List)
Region 2 --> Contain the employee that is selected/clicked from the Region 1.
Upon submission (ADD Button clicked) of the page. I will take the employee_ids in the list and add it into a table in the database.
Does someone has an similar example I can take a look?
Thanks.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for answering. That gives me idea how to deal with List.
I have decided to go with creating a popup window with the region of list employee.
when emp name is click it should trigger a page process.
I took the javascript from Denes example here...
SUBMIT REQUEST when using a Row link to navigate to a page
javascript:f_setItem ('P1_HIDDEN_ITEM', #COLUMN_NAME#);doSubmit('SOME_REQUEST') ;
It works fine if I don't add the 'doSubmit', i can check that the session state value is updated.
When i do add the doSubmit, my page process is complaining that the item value is NULL which i found is true after i checked the session state value.
I still don't have idea what's going on.
Thanks.
