There is a newer project named Select2 now which handles remote data sets and offers infinite scrolling: http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2/

(Tried to submit it as a story the other day but zero upvotes.)

Thanks! This is considerably smaller than I expected it to be as well (7KiB minified) which is an acceptable size to chuck into our site.

Where did you get a 7KiB version from? If I download Select2, the select2.min.js file has 22KB

select2-2.0.zip contains a file select2.min.js which is 7KiB gzipped (it's 22KiB uncompressed). I should have stated that was the compressed size.

probably gziped

edit:ops had this in my tab opened since morning and commented without refreshing

Nice! Thanks for sharing - with HN as with anything it's as much chance and timing as anything else as to whether a post gets up-voted or sinks unnoticed. </meta>

If I click on one of these and select something then the next time I click it just flickers instead of opening. I think they have something wrong with their event handlers.

I had some trouble viewing data members that were longer than the select box, they would wrap down to a second line and overlap the next entry. I also could not use the mouse to scroll through the list and using the up and down arrows was sluggish. I am dealing with a very large list, but the original chosen seems to handle it pretty well.

Thanks!
