dropSelect jQuery Plugin
This is a CSS 3/jQuery plugin for making a div based dropdown select box.
All styling is done with CSS. Usage is simple: $('.mySelectElement').dropSelect() you're ready to go.
You can then use $('.mySelectElement').val() to get the value or use $('.mySelectElement').val(neValue) to set the selection to the passed in value (it needs to exist).
Initiation takes an optional object of options:
- className - Specify the class name to use (defaults to "dropSelect")
- arrowClass - The class name for the down arrow (defaults to "icon-arrow-down")
- callBack: A callback function when an item is selected (defaults to null)
- formatter: A callback to allow user formatting of the inner text (defaults to null)
- includeEmpties: Set to true to include all empty (no value) items (defaults to false)
- allowFirstEmptyAsInit: If the first item has no value, include it as initial text (defaults to true)
- setSelected: When set to true, the selected item in the select box will be matched (defaults to true)
- forceSelected: If given a value, will make that item selected over anything else (defaults to null)
- closeOnClick: When set to true, this will close the selection box when an item is clicked (defaults to false)
- width: The width in your favorite css unit (defaults to "auto", a calculated value based on the longest item length)
