How to Use select2.js
I want to add a form field which can auto fill text & can take multiple tabs(similar to fb). I found select2.js helps me do it, But i am having problems in using it when i set multiple attribute to true. if i add multiple: true, the page dispalys it as a normal select.
I find documentation on select2 page confusing.
I am a new to all of them, Please help me out.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="select2.js"></script>
<link href="select2.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="select2.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#e1").select2([multiple: true]);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" id="123">click
</br>
<input type="hidden" id="1234">
<select id="e1">
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="Am">Amalapuram</option>
<option value="An">Anakapalli</option>
<option value="Ak">Akkayapalem</option>
<option value="WY">Wyoming</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
Answer
Add the attribute "multiple", and a width as well, only in the markup.
<select multiple id="e1" style="width:300px">
and js as this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#e1").select2();
});

A side note; you are loading select2.js 2 times in the code posted in your question.
