jQuery Chosen.js - how to search in multiple select? - jquery-chosen

I'm using an jquery plugin called Chosen. I see it has a search option available for single select, does anyone know how I can enable it in a case of using multiple select?
Thanks

Chosen search works with multiple select. Check examples on their site
http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/
If you are asking, how to use it, here is the example:
Html code:
<select multiple class="chzn-select">
Javascript code:
$('.chzn-select').chosen();
And it is done.

For others who may be looking for a live demo there is a great fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/RVH8D/ which shows a simple implementation of chosen and includes images in the results list.
If you want a multiple change
<select...>
to
<select... multiple="true">

JSXGraph in Moodle: How to use MathJax for text

I use JSXGraph in Moodle and would like to render text with MathJax. Could someone provide an example of how this can be done? I have tried all kinds of combinations I could think of based on these sources:
https://jsxgraph.org/wiki/index.php/Using_MathJax
https://jsxgraph.org/docs/symbols/Text.html#useMathJax
If you want to use the MathJax filter from Moodle, the order of the filters is important. Here is a link: https://github.com/jsxgraph/moodle-filter_jsxgraph/blob/master/README.md#using-mathjax-within-the-board
You can also find an example there.

twitter bootstrap autocomplete dropdown / combobox with Knockoutjs

I have a requirement where I HAVE TO use bootstrap autocomplete dropdown, BUT user can have free form text in that dropdown if they wish. Before you think about TypeAhead, I could use Bootstrap TypeAhead textbox, but I need to have the dropdown becasue we want to give some default values as headstart options in case users dont know what to search for.
I am using this with MVC DropDownListFor as that creates a select control for us.
I found this article which does that for me.
https://github.com/danielfarrell/bootstrap-combobox/pull/20
All I had to do was take off the name from the select control and the control was letting me enter free form text. All good so far.
Now, I am using this in conjunction with Knockoutjs. I bind my options and selected value to the select control and then on row rendered of my template, I called (selector).combobox() which makes the select control a bootstrap comobobox and adds an input control and hides the select control in the scenes behind.
The problem now is when I try to get he values to post to server, since the value I put in input box is not a valid options from the options I gave to select control, it is always setting it to the first option by default. This is becasue, I set the binding of the selected value on select control and not on the input box which was created by bootstrap-combobox.js.
My question is how do I get the input box to data-bind to the same porperty as the the select control was bound to.
Any other options??
Let me know if you need more clarification or have questions.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Have a look at Select2 for Bootstrap. It should be able to do everything you need.
Another good option is Selectize.js. It feels a bit more native to Bootstrap.
Does the basic HTML5 datalist work? It's clean and you don't have to play around with the messy third party code. W3SCHOOL tutorial
The MDN Documentation is very eloquent and features examples.
Select2 for Bootstrap 3 native plugin
https://fk.github.io/select2-bootstrap-css/index.html
this plugin uses select2 jquery plugin
nuget
PM> Install-Package Select2-Bootstrap
Fuel UX combobox has all the features you would expect.
Can i suggest http://www.jqueryscript.net/form/Twitter-Like-Mentions-Auto-Suggesting-Plugin-with-jQuery-Bootstrap-Suggest.html, works more like the twitter post suggestion where it gives you a list of users or topics based on # or # tags,
view demo here: http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Twitter-Like-Mentions-Auto-Suggesting-Plugin-with-jQuery-Bootstrap-Suggest/
in this one you can easily change the # and # to anything you want
Bootstrap Tokenfield seems good too: http://sliptree.github.io/bootstrap-tokenfield/

selecting the right element using jquery

Starting from the solution provided by the Nick Caver I wish to save some inputs provided by the users into a db. The problem is that I don't know how to select the right input from the current dialog box, using jQuery.
Here is my working code.
I've solve it. I had to use :last selector. I think is a good solution.
What do you think? I'm new in jQuery

What is the best way to present multiple options in a form for section 508?

I will need to provide a way for a user (who will be using a screen reader) to select multiple options within a form. Currently, these options are laid out in a two column table with checkboxes in the first column and spans with the label for the option in the second column. This isn't section 508 compliant, but it will need to be for this site. I'm trying to figure out the best way to replace this form with something better.
The options I have are to either
Use ul/lis with labels for the checkboxes
OR
Use a multi-select drop down list.
Does anyone have a preference or a better idea?
I've decided to use a muli-select dropdown. In case anyone was wondering. It seems to work fairly well with the screen reader I'm using. I did find that IE seems to be the best browser to work with and most screen readers aren't working very well with Chrome or other browsers unfortunately. I can only assume then that most people who visually disabled are probably using IE because of this.

Google like autosuggest with Solr

I'm currently using Solr with Terms Component and Jquery Autosuggest which works quiet good. However, this construct is limited to one autosuggest word (it autocompletes only the first word). Is it possible to implement a Google like autosuggest with multiple words/terms so i can autocomplete multiple words?
I just wrote a blog post about different ways to make auto complete suggestions with Solr. It's basically a comparison of some different strategies, check it out, it might help.
If you want to make multiple terms suggestions, it turns out you should use, as already mentioned in the other answer you got, the Suggester component available in Solr starting from the 3.1 version. Since it has some limitations, you can also have a look at the ShingleFilterFactory, which generates token NGrams. It creates combination of tokens as a single token, that's useful to suggest multiple words.
You can also use SpellCheckComponent for better auto complete suggests.
See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester for details.
Edit:
Refer here for solr5 and above
Check this out, it might help

I worked out the same task, finally got solved using TermsComponent with multiple fields. check this link. http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/auto-completion-search-with-solr-using-NGrams-in-SOLR-td3998559i20.html
