Now that the data objects have the `element` property, we can test to make sure it's a DOM element and then use it for selecting the option. This allows us to select multiple options with the same id, as well as handle cases where that is already happening. You cannot use `$e.val()` to select two options with the same id, as jQuery will reject it, but you can set the second option to `.selected = true`, which is supported.
Select2
Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and pagination of results.
To get started, checkout examples and documentation at http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2
Use cases
- Enhancing native selects with search.
- Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
- Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable.
- Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nested. Select2 does not have this restriction.
- Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
- Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
- Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
- Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
