Is there a way to render MultiSelect elements with checkboxes? #5

Is there a way to render MultiSelect elements with checkboxes?

I'd like to start using the gentleSelect plugin in order to render a few MultiSelect elements with large datasets (i.e. a list of sizes) in a more manageable format for users. I've been using the jQuery UI MultiSelect widget (which has checkboxes, but not the ability to render options in multiple columns), and I think it's important that I continue using checkboxes in order to create both a consistent and an intuitive user experience.

I'd prefer a solution that allows me to continue using Select elements (I've seen a few possible workarounds using css but they require switching to list items)

That's not supported in the current version of gentleSelect but it sounds like a great feature to have.

I'll add that to TODO for next update, but I'm afraid I cannot guarantee a timescale for completion due to work commitments.

Hello!

May i ask you, did you found a solution and where i can read about it? :)

I wound up having to write the code myself because I couldn't find an existing plugin at the time. I would hope that someone's built one by now, but if that's not the case I'd be happy to dust off my old code and share it.
