jQuery SELECT Replacement
I got tired of not being able to style SELECTs easily. This is a bad attempt to fix that with some Javascript :-p
It's based on code from the site Janko at Warp Speed. I've added a few changes of my own, and the results can be seen on the sample page.
To use, include the CSS file from the desired style, a copy of jQuery, and a copy of dropdown.min.js. Add a class to the SELECTs you want to replace, and call the library in your JS as follows.
$(".yourClass").dropdown();
TODO:
- Better documentation
- Add destroy method and namespace event binding
- Handle "selected" attribute
- Add a custom scrollbar when the dropdown gets too long
- Mirror changes that happen to the original SELECT
- SELECT MULTIPLE
- Add ARIA elements
- Keep selected value after page refresh
- Tie into jQuery UI
