selectize.js

Selectize is a jQuery-based custom <select> UI control. It's useful for tagging, contact lists, country selectors, and so on. It clocks in at around ~7kb (gzipped). The goal is to provide a solid & usable user-experience with a clean and powerful API.

Features

  • Smart Option Ranking
    As the user types, options are efficiently scored and sorted on-the-fly.
  • Multi-property searching
    Want to search an item's title and description? No problem.
  • Caret between items
    Order matters sometimes. Use the [left] and [right] arrow keys to move between selected items.
  • Select & delete multiple items at once
    Hold down [option] on Mac or [ctrl] on Windows to select more than one item to delete.
  • Díåcritîçs supported
    Great for international environments.
  • Item creation
    Allow users to create items on the fly (async saving is supported; the control locks until the callback is fired).
  • Remote data loading
    For when you have thousands of options and want them provided by the server as the user types.
  • Clean API & code
    Interface with it and make modifications easily. Pull requests welcome!
  • Touch Support
    Plays nice with iOS 5+ devices.
