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
---------
* 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.
