The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Simple Combo

Submitted by bennettmcelwee on July 15, 2009 - 6:58am

The simpleCombo plugin is a jQuery-based combo box widget that is

  • simple
  • lightweight
  • consistent with native widget look and feel

with simpleCombo, you can turn select lists into combo boxes like this:

$(selector).simpleCombo();

Simple combo boxes are normal select lists with one extra feature: you can type
directly into the combo box to add an extra option, which is automatically
selected.

Since these combo boxes are actually just select lists plus JavaScript, they
look exactly like regular select lists. They can be styled, resized, etc.
with no visual glitches.

Native Combo Box

Native Combo Box

This very simple plugin is designed to mimic the look of a native combo box for your OS. Perfect for offering suggestions without forcing them.

Takes one argument: either an array of options or an existing select element.

Examples:

$('#input_a').combobox(['option 1', 'option 2', 'option 3']);
$('input.many').combobox($('#select_element'));

Warning: This looks terrible of you style it. If you aren’t using the native form controls, you should edit the CSS so that everything lines up properly.

imList

Submitted by lesgreen on March 14, 2009 - 11:46pm

imList is a JQuery plugin that began as a way to ajaxally create html tables using JQuery. After creating the table plugin, I realized that I could apply much of the same functionality to any type of list that is displayed on a web page, to include: ul/ol, comboboxes, lists, and divs. The power of this plugin is it’s regular expression functionality that will allow developers to display anything they wish within a list. I have also built in a delete row capability that can, not only delete the row that is displayed on the web page, but also allow the developer to delete the record from the server (ajaxally, of course).

SexyCombo

Submitted by kadalashvili on November 26, 2008 - 12:55pm

Sexy Combo is a plugin that allows you to easily turn your selectboxes into much more attractive and usable combo boxes. The difference is that the user can choose whether to type the value, select it from the dropdown list or use the mixture of both of these ways. Sexy Combo reaches its maximum efficiency when you have selectboxes with lots of options, and user can type the value more quickly rather than select it from a huge list. Sexy Combo is much more attractive than standard browser selectboxes, and (more important) it gives your users more freedom (as tagging in comparison to traditional taxonomy). Visit demo page to see how it looks, and, I am sure, you will appreciate it.
