grisel

grisel (GRId_SELect) is a custom multi- or single-select control (over standard <select>).
Represents options as paginated grid.
Features search and filter by first letter.
Customizable. Has cool animations. Useful for big list of options.

How it looks:

Getting started:

1. Include this JS/CSS:

<script src="vendor/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script src="vendor/jquery.easing.1.3.2.js"></script>
<script src="src/js/grisel.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="src/css/grisel.css" />

1. Add class "grisel" to <select>'s you want to convert.
   
2. Customize options. Example:

<script>
grisel.defaultOptions = jQuery.extend(grisel.defaultOptions, {
    //options to override, see list below
});
grisel.optionsBySelId = {
    's_street': {
        //options to override for select '#s_street' 
    }
};
grisel.optionsBySelClass = {
    //...
};
grisel.defaultLang = 'en';
grisel.defaultStrings = jQuery.extend(grisel.defaultStrings, {
    'en': {
        //default strings in english
    }
});
grisel.stringsBySelId = {
    's_street': {
        'en': {
            //strings for '#s_street' in english
        }
    },
};
grisel.stringsBySelClass = {
    //...
};
</script>

Also you can override options for particular <select> by using 'data-*'. Example:

<select class="grisel" data-div-popup-width='500'>...</select>

Notes:

Popup can be in extended view (with search and filter by first char) or compact - see options isExt, minPagesForExt.
Options list can contain special "any"-option, to be able to select all/any values by one click (and send to server), see options anyVal, hideAny.
