jQuery multiselect drop down menu

Question

I have a simple html multi select drop down list    lt select id  transactionType  multiple  multiple  size  10  gt     lt option value  ALLOC  gt ALLOC lt  option gt     lt option value  LOAD1  gt LOAD1 lt  option gt     lt option value  LOAD2  gt LOAD2 lt  option gt     lt  -- etcetera    -- gt   lt  select gt    I want to continue to use this list in the event javascript is disabled however with javaScript I would like to render the list as a multi-select drop down list  That is it only shows one item in the list until clicked and then will expand to show x items and provide scrolling  where I can select multiple elements as you would expect while holding shift or ctrl   New to jQuery was searching the http   jquery com  but haven t yet found what I need   Edit Struts2 users  the selected answer will url encode with    this causes issues in struts2 the fix however is very easy  Simply open jquery multiSelect js and search for      and delete the one instance this is used in a string concatenation  I also am using jQuery 1 4 4 as opposed to the 1 3 2 which came bundled with it and everything works just fine

Are you looking to do something like this http   jsfiddle net robert xhHkG       transactionType   attr        multiple   true       size    10       Put that in a   function          or some other onload  Edit  Reread your question  you re not really looking for a multiple select    but a dropdown box that allows you to select multiple  Yeah  probably best to use a plugin for that or write it from the ground up  it s not a  quick answer  type deal though

You could hack your own  not relying on jQuery plugins    though you d need to keep track externally  in JS  of selected items since the transition would remove the selected state info    lt head gt     lt script type  text javascript  src  http   code jquery com jquery-1 4 4 min js  gt  lt  script gt     lt script type  text javascript  gt        window  load function              transactionType   focusin function                transactionType   attr  multiple   true                       transactionType   focusout function                transactionType   attr  multiple   false                     gt       lt  script gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt     lt select id  transactionType  gt       lt option value  ALLOC  gt ALLOC lt  option gt       lt option value  LOAD1  gt LOAD1 lt  option gt       lt option value  LOAD2  gt LOAD2 lt  option gt     lt  select gt     lt  body gt
