I need to implement a select similar to this http://www.erichynds.com/examples/jquery-ui-multiselect-widget/demos/

I want to use select2 for this, but I haven't been able to find anything from the creator of the select2 that would support this style of dropdown with checkboxes in it. Does anyone know a way to do this?

I've faced a similar need but was not able to find it.

The solution I've came across was using the flag closeOnSelect set to false

$("#yadayada").select2({closeOnSelect:false}); http://jsfiddle.net/jEADR/521/
