Multiselect is a JQuery based plugin to provide an intuitive user interface
for using select inputs with the multiple attribute present. Instead of a regular
select, the library displays the button with dropdown menu containing the single options
as checkboxes. Although the same feature can be achieved with regular dropdown menu and
a list of checkboxes, this library provides extensive list of additional options that
dropdown menu doesn't have. Explore the examples below.
Use "Select" and "Deselect" buttons to select or deselect
cheese and tomatoes. Display selected or deselected options by using
$('.multiselect').val() method.
Use the button to toggle the selection. Don't forget to
include $.uniform.update(); to update checkboxes or radios
state dynamically.
Record the order the options are selected. When selecting
an item an ordering number will be incremented and saved within the option.
Simulate single selections using checkboxes. The behavior
will be similar to a multiselect with radio buttons.
Select a maximum of 3 options. Then all other options are
disabled.
Using a reset button together with a multiselect. Select
options then click Reset button to reset selections.
The templates can be overriden using the
templates configuration option. The example below uses a
red border color for dividers.
