jQuery.DropdownReplacement is not your classic dropdown form masking plugin that the Internet seems to be fill with these days.
This plugin works with dropdown elements in a way most other plugins don't. jQuery.DropdownReplacement affects their core behavior. It changes what options developers can set when it comes to dropdowns, options previously unavailable.
Sure developers can add custom skins to dropdown elements, but that's not jQuery.DropdownReplacement's main features.
With this plugin developers can adjust dropdown's size automatically based on the contained items, can set the number of visible items that get shown when opening a dropdown, can customize the direction a dropdown opens, can add icons and other graphics to a dropdown list or optgroup.
The possibilities this plugin can be used are limitless and it provides developers with a complex tool that can easily be used to control every facet of the classic dropdown element.
