Select2

Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and pagination of results.

To get started, checkout examples and documentation at https://select2.github.io/

Use cases

• Enhancing native selects with search.
• Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
• Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via AJAX and have them searchable.
• Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nesting. Select2 does not have this restriction.
• Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
• Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
• Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
• Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.

Browser compatibility

• IE 8+
• Chrome 8+
• Firefox 10+
• Safari 3+
• Opera 10.6+

Select2 is automatically tested on the following browsers.
