This version of Chosen seeks to accomplish a few key modifications:
- Resolution indepence through the use of an icon font rather than CSS sprites. Having a data URI in the CSS file also eliminates the need for an additional HTTP request to get the sprite image.
- Use of relative units rather than pixels, and more generous padding in general.
- Moving the unselect "X" icon to the left side of selections to make it easier to quickly discard multiple choices.
