Select2

Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.

To get started checkout examples and documentation at http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2

Use cases

• Enhances native selects with search
• Enhances native selects with a better multi-select interface
• Loading data from javascript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable
• Nested 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 datesets: 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
