jQuery Plugin To Convert Select Options To Checkboxes - multicheck

multicheck is a lightweight jQuery plugin to convert select options into a multi checkbox set, allowing your user to select multiple options in an easy way.

How to use it:

1. Include jQuery javascript library and the jQuery multicheck plugin in the document.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.multicheck.js"></script>

2. Include the Twitter Bootstrap 3 to style the option labels (OPTIONAL).

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

3. Create a simple multi select list with 'multiple' attribute.

<select multiple="multiple">
  <option data-label-class="label label-danger" value="red">Red</option>
  <option data-label-class="label label-primary" value="green">Green</option>
  <option data-label-class="label label-success" value="blue">Blue</option>
</select>

4. Call the plugin on the select list.

$('select').multicheck({
  label_wrap: '<div class="checkbox"></div>'
});

5. Options and defaults.

// Wrap each label in HTML structure. Example for Bootstrap: '<div class="checkbox"></div>'
label_wrap: '',
// Container with scrolling and borders
scroll_wrapper_enabled: false,
// if scroll_wrapper_enabled is true then selected_element is active element with class multicheckbox-on.
selected_element: 'label'
