Your question is the same as this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6459974/how-to-add-option-using-multiselect-jquery-plugin
The answer you want is the first one. I do not have a complete example of integration with web2py. Give it a try and if, necessary, I will take a second look. Anyway, consider the fact you are basically allowing users to type whatever they want. You may as well use the default validator.
