Select tags using jQuery

You can view the working demo here.

Here I am showing an example in which we can select tags from given tag cloud using jQuery. The code the easy to understand and easy to customize as per requirement. I have created two DIVs. First DIV contains all the tags when page load. We can select tags from first DIV by double clicking on the tags. We can also remove selected tags from second DIV by double clicking on tag. We can also sort the tags by using filters (like:- All, Popular, and New). We can get the IDs of selected tags by clicking the submit button.
