<head> ... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/selectik.css" /> // CSS for Selectik <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.mousewheel.js"></script> // mousewhell plugin <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.selectik.js"></script> // Selectik plugin ... </head> You can choose what select should be custom by class, id or use for all selects on page by tag:
For all selects on page:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('select').selectik(); }); Only with some class/id:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('.someclass').selectik(); }); Plugin parametrs

In Selectik jQuery store a reference to the plugin of object by 'data'. In this case you should use 'data' and know what select to control.
Reload custom select when original was changed:
$('.first select').data('selectik').refreshCS();
Show/hide list:
$('.second select').data('selectik').showCS(); // show list
$('.second select').data('selectik').hideCS(); // hide list
Change selected option:
$('.first select').data('selectik').changeCS({index: 1}); // set first option 'selected'
$('.first select').data('selectik').changeCS({value: 'New'}); // set selected options with value 'New'
Set width:
$('.third select').data('selectik').setWidthCS(200); // set width 200px
Enable/disable select:
$('.first select').data('selectik').disableCS(); // disable select
$('.first select').data('selectik').enableCS(); // enable select
Change/add methods:

$('select').selectik( {maxItems: 8}, // options { _generateHtml: function(){ // changed method this.$collection = this.$cselect.children(); var html = ''; for (var i = 0; i < this.$collection.length; i++){ var $this = $(this.$collection[i]); var textOption = $this[0].text; var valueOption = $this[0].value; html += '<li class="'+ ($this.attr('disabled') === 'disabled' ? 'disabled' : '') +' new" data-value="'+valueOption+'">'+textOption+'</li>'; }; return html; } } ); Support browsers:
