What is this?

This is a jQuery plugin extending the functionality of Twitter Bootstrap. It allows you to turn a default select input field into an element completely matching the style of Twitter Bootstrap with one line of JavaScript.

Why use it?

• applies Twitter Bootstrap style to a select input field
• preserves native select input field behaviour (you can use GET or POST methods to submit the selected value)
• easily stylable
• responsive (optionally)
• by default uses Twitter Bootstrap button styling and field sizing classnames, but this can be easily overridden by using custom ones
• accessible – supports keyboard tabbing very well (gaining and loosing focus)

Easy to use

Example:

<script> $(document).ready(function(){ $('.some_classname').bootstrapSelect(); }); </script>

Please note: step-by-step explanation is in the docs.

This plugin requires

• jQuery JavaScript library
• Twitter Bootstrap 2 front-end framework
