07-09-2010 – This plugin has been re-written!
I’ve re-written this plugin using the jQuery UI widget factory. As such, a number of new features have been added, bugs fixed, and performance issues addressed.
Use the widget version instead – I won’t be doing any further development on this version.
I’ve been working on a multiple select plugin on and off for the past couple months and finally have it stable enough for a first release. When I started this project my intentions were only to re-factor Cory LaViska’s MultiSelect implementation, but it quickly turned into a complete re-write with a focus on speed and ThemeRoller support. This plugin turns an ordinary HTML select control into an elegant drop down list of checkboxes.
