Select2
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
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](http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/) library.

What Does Select2 Support That Chosen Does Not?
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Working with large datasets: Chosen requires the entire dataset to be loaded as `option` tags in the DOM, which limits
|
|
it to working with small-ish datasets. Select2 uses a function to find results on-the-fly, which allows it to partially
|
|
load results.
|
|
* Paging of results: Since Select2 works with large datasets and only loads a small amount of matching results at a time
|
|
it has to support paging. Select2 will call the search function when the user scrolls to the bottom of currently loaded
|
|
result set allowing for the 'infinite scrolling' of results.
|
|
* Custom markup for results: Chosen only supports rendering text results because that is the only markup supported by
|
|
`option` tags. Select2 provides an extension point which can be used to produce any kind of markup to represent results.
|
|
* Ability to add results on the fly: Select2 provides the ability to add results from the search term entered by the user, which allows it to be used for
|
|
tagging.
