## Single select boxes
Select2 was designed to be a replacement for the standard `<select>` box that is displayed by the browser. By default it supports all options and operations that are available in a standard select box, but with added flexibility.
Select2 can take a regular select box like this...
<select class="js-states form-control"></select>
and turn it into this...
<div class="s2-example">
<select class="js-example-basic-single js-states form-control"></select>
</div>
```
<select class="js-example-basic-single" name="state">
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
...
<option value="WY">Wyoming</option>
</select>
```
<script type="text/javascript" class="js-code-example-basic-single">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.js-example-basic-single').select2();
});
</script>
Select2 will register itself as a jQuery function if you use any of the distribution builds, so you can call `.select2()` on any jQuery selector where you would like to initialize Select2.
```
// In your Javascript (external .js resource or <script> tag)
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.js-example-basic-single').select2();
});
```
>>>>>> The DOM cannot be safely manipulated until it is "ready". To make sure that your DOM is ready before the browser initializes the Select2 control, wrap your code in a [`$(document).ready()`](https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/) block. Only one `$(document).ready()` block is needed per page.
## Multi-select boxes (pillbox)
Select2 also supports multi-value select boxes. The select below is declared with the `multiple` attribute.
<div class="s2-example">
<p>
<select class="js-example-basic-multiple js-states form-control" multiple="multiple"></select>
</p>
</div>
**In your HTML:**
```
<select class="js-example-basic-multiple" name="states[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
...
<option value="WY">Wyoming</option>
</select>
```
**In your Javascript (external `.js` resource or `<script>` tag):**
```
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.js-example-basic-multiple').select2();
});
```
<script type="text/javascript">
$.fn.select2.amd.require([
"select2/core",
"select2/utils"
], function (Select2, Utils, oldMatcher) {
var $basicSingle = $(".js-example-basic-single");
var $basicMultiple = $(".js-example-basic-multiple");
$.fn.select2.defaults.set("width", "100%");
$basicSingle.select2();
$basicMultiple.select2();
function formatState (state) {
if (!state.id) {
return state.text;
}
var $state = $(
'<span>' +
'<img src="vendor/images/flags/' +
state.element.value.toLowerCase() +
'.png" class="img-flag" /> ' +
state.text +
'</span>'
);
return $state;
};
});
</script>
