Open Source CoffeeScript Browser Extensions and Plugins

Chosen is a jQuery plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. Chosen automatically highlights selected options and removes disabled options. Chosen automatically sets the default field text ("Choose a country...") by reading the select element's data-placeholder value. If no data-placeholder value is present, it will default to "Select an Option" or "Select Some Options" depending on whether the select is single or multiple. You can change these elements in the plugin js file as you see fit.
