Thanks! I think it's a pretty unique approach and haven't really seen anything like it.
We use this control for some really large hierarchical trees of data and it works very well. Generally the tree depth only goes 3 or 4 levels deep, but many of the branches have over 20 items. The multicolumn approach keeps the items in a compact space in the viewport and the keyboard entry allows for quick keyboard selection. -Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Rey Bango >Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 12:01 PM >To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com >Subject: [jQuery] Re: New jQuery Plug-in: Multicolumn Dropdown > > >This plugin is HOT Dan. > >Rey > >Dan G.
