<h3>Multi-Value Select Boxes</h3>

</p>
<p>The placeholder can be declared via a <code>data-placeholder</code> attribute attached to the <code>select</code>, or via the <code>placeholder</code> configuration element as seen in the example code</p>
<p>Optionally, a clear button (visible once a selection is made) is available to reset the select box back to the placeholder value.</p>

<div class="span4">
<h3>Loading Data</h3>
<p>Select2 uses a function to load result data. Here is a trivial example that creates choices that consist of user's input repeated a number of times:</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" id="e5" style="width:300px"/>
</p>
<p>In order to take advantage of custom data loading Select2 should be attached to an <code>input type='hidden'</code> tag, otherwise data is parsed from <code>select</code>'s <code>option</code> tags.</code></p>
</div>
<div class="span8">
<h3>Example Code</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums" id="code_e5">
</pre>
</div>
</article>
<article class="row" id="data_array">
<div class="span4">
<h3>Loading Array Data</h3>
<p>Select2 provides some shortcuts that make it easy to access local data stored in an array instead of having to write a <code>query</code> function mentioned in the example above.</p>
<p>Example below inlines the data by specifying an array in the <code>data</code> element. Items in such an array must have <code>id</code> and <code>text</code> keys.</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" id="e10" style="width:300px"/>
</p>
<p>If your data does not have a <code>text</code> key, an alternative key can be specified as a string:</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" id="e10_2" style="width:300px"/>
</p>
<p>or as a function:</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" id="e10_3" style="width:300px"/>
</p>
</div>
<div class="span8">
<h3>Example Code</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums" id="code_e10">
</pre>
</div>
</article>
<article class="zebra row" id="ajax">
<div class="span12">
<h3>Loading Remote Data</h3>
<p>Select2 comes with AJAX/JSONP support built in. In this example we will search for a movie using Rotten Tomatoes API:</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" class="bigdrop" id="e6" style="width:600px"/>
</p>
<p class="alert alert-warning">If this example does not work it is probably because the Rotten Tomatoes API key usage of 10000 requests per day has been exhausted. Please try again tomorrow.</p>
<h3>Example Code</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums" id="code_e6"></pre>
<p>Select2 uses jQuery's <code>$.ajax</code> function to execute the remote call by default. An alternative <code>transport</code> function can be specified in the ajax settings, or an entirely custom implementation can be built by providing a custom <code>query</code> function instead of using the <code>ajax</code> helper</p>
</div>
</article>
<article class="row" id="infinite">
<div class="span12">
<h3>Infinite Scroll with Remote Data</h3>
<p>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. The following example demonstrates
how this can be set up. Search for some keyword and then scroll the result list to the end to
see more results load:</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" class="bigdrop" id="e7" style="width:600px"/>
</p>
<p class="alert alert-warning">If this example does not work it is probably because the Rotten Tomatoes API key usage of 10000 requests per day has been exhausted. Please try again tomorrow.</p>

<h3>Select2 Drag and Drop Sorting</h3>
<p>
Select2 supports drag and drop sorting of selected choices. Select2 does not, itself, provide the necessary code to perform dragging and dropping, instead it provides hooks that other libraries can use to provide the behavior. In this example we are using JQuery UI's <code>sortable()</code> plugin.
</p>
<p class="alert alert-info">The sorting is only available when Select2 is attached to a hidden <code>input</code> field.</p>

<p>
The minimum number of results that must be initially (after opening the dropdown for the first time)
populated in order to keep the search field. This
is useful for cases where local data is used with just a few results, in which case the search box
is not very useful and wastes screen space.

The value can be specified either as an <code>object</code> or as a <code>string</code>. If
specified as a <code>string</code> any custom <code>formatSelection</code> function will be
bypassed and the string value will be rendered directly.

or <code>input</code> element that Select2 is attached to. In this case only <code>string</code>
values are supported

<p>
Whether or not a clear button is displayed when the select box has a selection. The

when clicked, resets the value of the select box back to the placeholder, thus this option is
only
available when the placeholder is specified.
</p>
<p class="alert alert-warning">When attached to a <code>select</code> an <code>option</code> with an empty value must be provided.
This is the option that will be selected when the button is pressed since a select box requires

Called when Select2 is created to allow the user to initialize the selection based on the value of the

<p>
Essentially this is an <code>id->object</code> mapping function.

Here is an example implementation used for tags. Tags are the simplest form of data where the id is also
the text:

$(element.val().split(",")).each(function () {
data.push({id: this, text: this});

When this function is first called for a new search term this object will be null. The user may choose to set any object in the <code>results.context</code> field - this object will then be used as the context parameter for all calls to the <code>query</code> method that will load more search results for the initial search term. The object will be reset back to null when a new search term is queried. This feature is useful when a page number is not easily mapped against the server side paging mechanism. For example, some server side paging mechanism may return a &quot;continuation token&quot; that needs to be passed back to them in order to retrieve the next page of search results.</td></tr>
