tail.select.js - Beautify Select Fields

npm npm NPM

Replace and Improve your HTML <select> fields with style and without jQuery!

The tail.select script is back, rewritten in vanilla JavaScript and ready to beautify and extend your HTML <select> fields... again! Add a search bar, multi-selection utilities (such as select all or none buttons), a perfect design and many more user-friendly functions to your web application.

NOTE #1: If you want to use the latest version and your implementation is simple, or if you are starting a new project from scratch, then you can use the 1.x branch. This branch is actively maintained.

NOTE #2: Version 0.5.23 is the last one in the 0.5.x branch. The next version is 1.x and contains breaking changes. If you have an older implementation, and you use custom code, please stick to the 0.5.x branch. This branch is no longer maintained, but it's stable.

Want to see tail.select in action?

Thanks To (`0.5.x` Branch)

Documentation (`0.5.x` Branch)

The documentation has been moved to GitHubs Wiki Pages, but I will keep a table of contents list here and some basic instructions.

Files (`0.5.x` Branch)

The tail.select package contains different JavaScript files:

js/tail.select(.min).js The main JavaScript with en tranlation strings only.
js/tail.select-full(.min).js The main JavaScript with ALL available translations.
langs/tail.select-all(.min).js Just ALL translation strings itself.
langs/tail.select-{locale}.js Just the {locale} translation strings.

Basic Instructions (`0.5.x` Branch)

You can pass up to 2 arguments to the tail.select constructor, the first parameter is required and need to be an Element, a NodeList, a HTMLCollection, an Array with Element objects or just a single selector as string, which calls the querySelectorAll() method on its own. The second parameter is optional and, if set, MUST be an object with your tail.select options.
