Why use Chosen?
-
Easier to Use
Instead of forcing your users to scroll through a giant list of items, they can just start typing the name of the item they were looking for.
-
Progressive Enhancement
Because chosen replaces normal html select fields, you don't need to do anything special to make it work for browsers without javascript.
-
Lightweight
Even un-minified, Chosen's JS, CSS and Images weigh in at under 50k.
-
Painless Setup
Add Chosen's files to your app and then add the class chzn-select to your select box. That's it, you're done!
Setup
Using Chosen is easy as can be.
