I wrote this plugin ages ago, but I recently upgraded it to work on optgroups, so I think now it’s worthy of being published. Many times I have received designs that have fancy select boxes. All UI developers know about this problem. Designers seem to think that you can make the web look like anything. Well, they are right, but you can’t always do it with HTML and CSS alone.
This plugin takes a select box and wraps it up into some markup that you can style and do nice things with. It generates an unordered list and binds the events on that list to the original selectbox. I made it this way so that it will integrate nicely with any back-end code. If I destroyed the original select box then it couldn’t do this, and certain .NET and PHP developers would not be happy.
You can define your classes and the mouse out timer. I have a demo page here and as usual I am hosting it on Github. Enjoy!
