Multiselect
Multiselect is a JQuery based plugin to provide an intuitive user interface for using select inputs with the multiple attribute present. Instead of a regular select, the library displays the button with dropdown menu containing the single options as checkboxes. Although the same feature can be achieved with regular dropdown menu and a list of checkboxes, this library provides extensive list of additional options that dropdown menu doesn't have. Explore the examples below.

Use "Select" and "Deselect" buttons to select or
deselect cheese and tomatoes. Display selected or
deselected options by using
$('.multiselect').val() method.
Use the button to toggle the selection. Don't forget to
include
$.uniform.update(); to update
checkboxes or radios state dynamically.
