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 am trying to design a multi-column select/search box as the one shown below.
I thought about using jQuery-UI Autocomplete widget. I will make the list appear in focus so the user can select directly from the list or start typing in the search box to filter the data shown.
I know I can feed the Autocomplete an array of objects as the source and decide a label to be shown as the selected item when the user selects a row.
What I want is to show more than two columns on the list. Any idea how to accomplish that?
thanks,
Use autocomplete renderItem to customize your search results. For multiple column view, use html code in rendering to render table like view. And then use this library to render html in autocomplete UI.
I ended up using typeahead.js from twitter.
Paired with the bloodhound engine it gives the ability to specify costume templates for the list.
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'm looking for a proper way to implement the jquery mobile filter list in bootstrap typeahead component.
The functionality that I needed is here in the following link. Please scroll down to the bottom. http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.1/docs/lists/lists-inset.html
In the filtering list, I want to add checkboxes for each list items and the user should be able to check multiple value. They don't have to be added to the textfield. As that's the only function I need, its no use of adding the whole jquery mobile library to the project.
I found couple of options in the following link which goes near my requirement.

But, the multiple selection by clicking checkboxes didn't work with bootstrap typeahead.
Can anyone give me a good solution for this.
Thanks
If you looking for bootstrap, this plugin can be used in your project
https://sliptree.github.io/bootstrap-tokenfield/
I saw following has been suggested in many places:
http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/
(If you use the multi-value version.)
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!
For my website, I need to have a way for users to enter their cities.
I'd like to use 2 drop-down list for that: a "State" and a "City" drop-down lists. The choices in the "City" list would depend on what "State' has been selected.
However, there bound to be cases where a user's "City" is not in the drop-down list. To handle those cases, I want the "City" input to be a "hybrid": while users could select a choice from a drop-down list, they could also use the input as a textbox and simply type out their city name.
An example of what I have in mind is Google Map. Enter any address into Google Map. Then click on "Directions" on the left panel. Then click the "By public transit" icon (2nd icon from left). The right-most drop-down box is what I'm talking about. You could select choices like "1:00pm", "1:30pm", "2:00pm" etc from a drop-down list. But you could also just type out a time like "1:23pm" inside the box.
How do I do something like that? Is there any javascript library/framework that does that? I'm currently using jQuery.
There are lots of JavaScript examples of this, using JQuery, or native JS. They're typically called combo boxes - for their ability to select from the drop-down or accept typed entry - most of them including settings to enable free-form entry vs forcing selection from the list only. I don't have any experience with a specific type, so I won't make a recommendation, but if you Google "javascript combo box" that'll get you started in the right direction :)
If you view source on the GMaps directions page that you are referring to, you can see how they do it; the "dropdown" button is really just an image. When a selection is made from the dropdown, the value is put into the textbox.
Some solutions I've found for whom it may concern:
Using select2 library and Tagging .
Selectize is the hybrid of a textbox and box.
Using Vue frawework see vue-multiselect and tagging support.
So probably you can consider "select taggging support" a good combination of words to search at Google.
