grisel

grisel (GRId_SELect) is a custom multi- or single-select control (over standard <select>).
Represents options as paginated grid.
Features search and filter by first letter.
Customizable. Has cool animations. Useful for big list of options.
Built on top of jQuery.

How it looks:

• Demo
• Live example

Getting started:

1) Include this JS/CSS:

<script src="vendor/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script src="vendor/jquery.easing.1.3.2.js"></script>
<script src="src/js/grisel.js"></script>

2) Add class "grisel" to <select>'s you want to convert.
3) Customize options. Example:

<script>
grisel.defaultOptions = jQuery.extend(grisel.defaultOptions, {
	//options to override, see list below
});
grisel.optionsBySelId = {
	's_street': {
		//options to override for select '#s_street' 
	}
};
grisel.optionsBySelClass = {
	//...
};
grisel.defaultLang = 'en';
grisel.defaultStrings = jQuery.extend(grisel.defaultStrings, {
	'en': {
		//default strings in english
	}
});
grisel.stringsBySelId = {
	's_street': {
		'en': {
			//strings for '#s_street' in english
		}
	},
};
grisel.stringsBySelClass = {
	//...
};
</script>

Also you can override options for particular <select> by using "data-*". Example: <select class="grisel" data-div-popup-width="500">...</selec>

Notes:

Popup can be in extended view (with search and filter by first char) or compact - see options isExt, minPagesForExt.
Options list can contain special "any"-option, to be able to select all/any values by one click (and send to server), see options anyVal, hideAny.
