Can Select2 be used with a <code><select></code> tag?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Select2 was designed to be a replacement for the standard <code><select></code> boxes that are displayed by the browser, so by default it supports all options and operations that are available in a standard select box, but with added flexibility. There is no special configuration required to make Select2 work with a <code><select></code> tag.

|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Does Select2 support nesting options?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A standard <code><select></code> box can display nested options by wrapping them with in an <code><optgroup></code> tag.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint">
|
|
<select>
|
|
<optgroup label="Group Name">
|
|
<option>Nested option</option>
|
|
</optgroup>
|
|
</select>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>
|
|
How many levels of nesting can there be?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Only a single level of nesting is allowed per the HTML specification. If you nest an <code><optgroup></code> within another <code><optgroup></code>, Select2 will not be able to detect the extra level of nesting and errors may be triggered as a result.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Can <code><optgroup></code> tags be made selectable?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
No. This is a limitation of the HTML specification and is not a limitation that Select2 can overcome. You can emulate grouping by using an <code><option></code> instead of an <code><optgroup></code> and <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/q/30820215/359284#30948247">changing the style by using CSS</a>, but this is not recommended as it is not fully accessible.

<h3>
|
|
How are <code><option></code> and <code><optgroup></code> tags serialized into data objects?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Select2 will convert the <code><option></code> tag into a data object based on the following rules.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "value attribute" || "option text",
|
|
"text": "label attribute" || "option text",
|
|
"element": HTMLOptionElement
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
And <code><optgroup></code> tags will be converted into data objects using the following rules
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
|
|
{
|
|
"text": "label attribute",
|
|
"children": [ option data object, ... ],
|
|
"elment": HTMLOptGroupElement
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
