Very nice!
One small issue...if I click in the main part of the dropdown, rather than
on the down arrow, I can't select any options with the mouse. This is a
little different than a native select control, where you can click anywhere
on it.

Subject: [jQuery] New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown
Awhile back I blogged about a plug-in that my company was planning on
releasing called mcDropdown (multicolumn dropdown.)
Well, the plug-in was officially released today:

If you like the plug-in, feel free to digg it:

You can jump directly to the example here:

In a nutshell, this plug-in creates a tree-like form control. We need a UI
control that would allow users to select an option from a large tree of
data
and this was the end result.
I think the overall effect is pretty impressive and I've never seen a UI
control like it (especially considering it supports keyboard entry.)
