  • Overview

    jQuery MultiSelect is a form component which allows users to select multiple items from a list of available options. Each selected item is rendered as a tag with a built-in icon to remove the value, giving users a sleek visual interface to preview their list of selected items.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Overview demo

  • Data Binding

    MultiSelect can be bound to different types of data, including an array of primitive values or an object. Moreover, the Angular MultiSelect can bind separate fields to the text and underlying value displayed to users.

    Read the jQuery MultiSelect Data Binding documentation

  • Virtualization

    Enable the virtualization feature to allow users to effortlessly scroll through large sets of data without any impact on performance.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Virtualization demo

  • Floating Label

    Provide a smoother and more efficient experience for end-users with the jQuery MultiSelect floating label feature. Add a label that floats above the input and save space while ensuring users don’t lose focus of the form context.

  • Grouping

    Organize data in categories to easily skim datasets. You can define what field in your data is responsible for the group and the component will automatically group the underlying data accordingly.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Grouping demo

  • Adaptive Mode

    The jQuery MultiSelect  UI component supports an adaptive mode that provides a mobile-friendly rendering of the component popup. When enabled, the component will automatically adapt to the current screen size and will change its rendering accordingly.

  • Templates

    Much like most of the component in Kendo UI for jQuery, you can use templates to configure the header and footer elements and the individual items to display more than just text.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Templates demo

  • Prefix and Suffix Adornments

    Elevate user interactivity leveraging the option for adding prefix and suffix adornments. These are custom items, usually an icon or button, inside the field before or after the input area. Typical prefix adornments are currency symbols or unit indicators, while suffix adornments are often used for password visibility toggles, formatting or clearing the input. 

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Prefix and Suffix demo

  • Add New Item

    The MultiSelect component includes a text field in which users can input text when looking for items. If the item is not found, the component will automatically present the user with a “Add New Item” button that will update the list.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Add New Item demo

  • Single or Summary Tag Modes

    MultiSelect gives you two options regarding the tags that represent selected items. Single mode is most typical and displays one tag per item selected. Summary mode uses one tag to represent multiple items.

    See the jQuery MultiSelect Tag Mode demo

  • Globalization

    MultiSelect fully supports localization of component messages, cultural locals, and right-to-left alignment.

    Read the jQuery MultiSelect Globalization documentation
