In this video we will discuss jQuery selectmenu widget with examples.

jQuery selectmenu duplicates and extends the functionality of a native HTML select element to overcome the limitations of the native control.

<select id="selectMenu" style="width:200px">
<option value="1">USA</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">India</option>
<option value="3">UK</option>
<option value="4">Australia</option>
<option value="5">Canada</option>
</select>

To use the jQuery selectmenu widget, call jQuery selectmenu() function on the select element
$('#selectMenu').selectmenu();

Select element with optgroup elements : The optgroup element is used to group related options in a drop-down list. In this example, we are grouping cities by country. You can only select the elements of a group but not the group itself.

<select id="selectMenu">
<optgroup label="USA">
<option value="1">New York</option>
<option value="2">Los Angeles</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="India">
<option value="3">New Delhi</option>
<option value="4">Bangalore</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

Dropdownlist button icon : Button icon is the image that you see on the right handside of the dropdownlist. The default button icon is ui-icon-triangle-1-s.

You can change button icon using the icons option
$('#selectMenu').selectmenu({
icons: { button: 'ui-icon-circle-arrow-s' }
});

To control the width of the selectmenu, use width option. The width is in pixels.
$('#selectMenu').selectmenu({
width : 200
});

How to retrieve the selected item value and label : Use the select event of the selectmenu. This event is raised when an item is selected.

$('#selectMenu').selectmenu({
select: function (event, ui) {
alert('Label = ' + ui.item.label + ' '
'Value = ' + ui.item.value);
}
});
