jQuery checkbox plugin

I found a fantastic checkbox replacement plugin by Igor Vaynberg. His open-source plugin, Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.

Some use case:

• 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 nested. 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.

Instead of trying to understand what all these features do, head over to the samples and try each one of them out. I am sure you will find at least one that you will use in your next project.
