My current employer has released another jQuery plug-in: the Linkselect jQuery Plug-in. This plug-in converts a normal <select /> element into a component that can be highly stylized via CSS. While there are a number of similar plug-ins already, there are a several of key differences which we think make this unique:
* Drop down menus are intelligently positioned to stay in the viewport * Specifically designed to work in a limited amount of real estate * Specifically designed to work well with elements aligned on the right edge of the viewport * Full keyboard support (emulates IE6's <select /> element) * Feature rich API (for updating value, replacing options, disabling elements, etc) * Many callback features to control behavior (on change, on init, on format, etc.) * Supports tabindex I blogged about this on Friday and also posted a little video demo: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2008/10/17/Linkselect-jQuery-Plugin-Rel eased You can download the plug-in from: http://www.givainc.com/labs/linkselect_jquery_plugin.htm Here's an example page: http://www.givainc.com/labs/linkselect_example.htm -Dan
