Select2 is a jQuerybased replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results. Look and feel of Select2 is based on the excellent [Chosen](http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/) library.

What Does Select2 Support That Chosen Does Not?

-------------------------------------------------

Use cases
9
+
---------
10
10
11
-
* Working with large datasets: Chosen requires the entire dataset to be loaded as `option` tags in the DOM, which limits
12
-
it to working with small-ish datasets. Select2 uses a function to find results on-the-fly, which allows it to partially
13
-
load results.
14
-
* Paging of results: Since Select2 works with large datasets and only loads a small amount of matching results at a time
15
-
it has to support paging. Select2 will call the search function when the user scrolls to the bottom of currently loaded
16
-
result set allowing for the 'infinite scrolling' of results.
17
-
* Custom markup for results: Chosen only supports rendering text results because that is the only markup supported by
18
-
`option` tags. Select2 provides an extension point which can be used to produce any kind of markup to represent results.
19
-
* Ability to add results on the fly: Select2 provides the ability to add results from the search term entered by the user, which allows it to be used for
20
-
tagging.
11
+
* Enhancing native selects with search.
12
+
* Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
13
+
* Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable.
14
+
* Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nested. Select2 does not have this restriction.
15
+
* Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
16
+
* Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
17
+
* Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
18
+
* Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
