I am using the select2 jquery plugin for select dropdown feature in web site.
Every select box in not required to be selected for the form submission .
I want user to be able to deselect the selected option if he wants to. Is there any way I can achieve this using Select2 Plugin. Any Help would be appreciated. Thank You.
You can put a blank option(option tag with blank value) in the select box for where you want the user to be able to deselect the value. In not sure what this has to do with select2.
If this doesn't solve you problem then let me know what options are you using to initialize select2 plugin or maybe elaborate more on the question.

I am using a select2 component for selection.
I fiddled an example together here:
https://fiddle.jshell.net/mmo2dqno/15/
What I am trying to do is:
Select an item via the select2 widget
Show that item in the div below
Dont show the label in the search box.
This works fine. The problem is, that when one item is selected, the searchbox isn't showing the placeholder attribute anymore.
How can I tell the browser to assume the input as empty and show the placeholder again?
You could kill the select2 plugin with JS, and then load it again.
Or you could use Js to choose an disabled placeholder option.
Is there anyway using Select2 displaying as textbox instead of a select tool look?
According to the docs:
Select2 also supports multi-value select boxes. The select below is
declared with the multiple attribute. Select2 automatically picks up
on this:
<select multiple>...</select>
This is what gives the 'text box' look.
Or, if you are only after a single selection you could just change the CSS styles of the existing select tool to make it 'look' like a standard text box.
Steven, this is true, however, display is using tags and I guess we all want the input/box view.
Based on select2 v4.0.0, it seems we can choose his adapter (single or multiple), but I have been unable to force it (nor enter free entry !)
I am working on creating a website using node.js and express. I want to add a multi-select dropdown box. I have a Javascript object which contains a variety of properties and would like to populate the dropdown box with all the property values. I would also like to be able to add new options to the dropdown and have them visible without having to refresh the page. Is there someway to accomplish this? Perhaps using JQuery? I would appreciate if someone could provide an example.
I've tried this example, but I would like to have a multi select checkbox for the dropdown. The example requires the user to press ctrl while clicking to select multiple options.
Thanks!
$("#select_id").append("<option value='value'>name</option>");
I am looking for a jQuery plugin that behaves like the Google+ autocomplete + dropdown. In G+, I can enter a person's name and it'll look in my circles and show me a list of matches, or I can click the dropdown arrow at the end of the input box to get a list of all possible names that I can select from. I was able to find plugins that do the autocomplete, but nothing that mixes that with a dropdown functionality to show you all possible names. Any ideas?
You can also try the chosen component.

It's a very nice piece of UI
Try jQueryUI Autocomplete: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
I have a list of countries in a database. To allow users to select their country, I would like to implement a form that supports auto-complete / autofill AND "normal dropdown behavior" within one control. By auto-complete / autofill I mean that the user starts typing their country name and then a list of suggestions appears automatically based on what they entered for them to quickly select from - just like how the tags input box on this page works.
Examples can be seen on http://www.momondo.com/ and http://badoo.com/ but I think their script is custom.
Is there an opensource .js plugin for this that's cross-browser friendly?
Thanks.
JQueryUI Autocomplete plugin is what you need http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
You can find a lot of demos and documentation in the previous link. I hope it helps you!
