Select2 - A Better Way To Make Select Boxes Using jQuery

Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results. Look and feel of Select2 is based on the excellent Chosen library.

Features

• Multi-Value Select Boxes - Select2 also supports multi-value select boxes. The select below is declared with the multiple attribute.
• Placeholders - A placeholder value can be defined and will be displayed until a selection is made.
• Minimum Input - Select2 supports a minimum input setting which is useful for large remote datasets where short search terms are not very useful.
• Templating - Various display options of the Select2 component can be changed.
• Loading Data - Select2 uses a function to load result data.
• Loading Array Data - Select2 provides some shortcuts that make it easy to access local data stored in an array instead of having to write a query function as mentioned above.
• Loading Remote Data - Select2 comes with AJAX/JSONP support built in.
• Infinite Scroll with Remote Data - Select2 supports lazy-appending of results when the result list is scrolled to the end. In order to enable the remote service must support some sort of a paging mechanism and the query function given to Select2 must take advantage of it.
• Programmatic Access - Select2 supports methods that allow programmatic control of the component.
• Change Event - Select2 triggers the change event on the original element whenever its value is changed by the user.
• Tagging Support - Select2 can be used to quickly set up fields used for tagging.
• Reacting to external value changes - Select2 can react to external value changes and keep its selection in-sync. This feature allows Select2 to work seamlessly with front-end frameworks that use data binding between ui components and model values.
