Select 2 Buttons - An Alternative Way To Displaying Standard HTML Selects
Select2Buttons is a jQuery plugin that provides an alternative to the standard html select. The plugin converts selects into a series of button like elements, and if used correctly can provide a better visual representation of the options available to a user.
To implement this plugin is pretty simple. Add a standard select to the page and then make 1 jQuery call to convert it into buttons:
<script> $('select[name=simple-select]').select2Buttons(); </script>
It has several options for customization, such as js change callbacks, disabled options, disabled selects, OptGroups and allows no default selection (like threadless).
Requirements: jQuery Framework
