I am using the following code to show search results. It has two options, one is a text field and another is a dropdown select option. I would like to convert the dropdown field into a checkbox option and allow users to select more than 1 option at a time. How can I do that?
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
load_data(1);
function load_data(page,query,city)
{
$.ajax({
url:"fetch_data.php",
method:"POST",
data:{page:page, query:query, city:city},
success:function(data)
{
$('#dynamic_content').html(data);
}
});
}
$(document).on('click', '.page-link', function(){
var page = $(this).data('page_number');
var query = $('#search_box').val();
var city = $('#city_box').val();
load_data(page, query, city);
});
$('#search_box').keyup(function () {
var query = $('#search_box').val();
var city = $('#city_box').val();
load_data(1, query, city);
});
$('#city_box').change(function () {
var query = $('#search_box').val();
var city = $('#city_box').val();
load_data(1, query, city);
});
});
</script>
Current dropdown example:
<form action="" class="row login_form">
<select name="city_box" id="city_box">
<option value="newyork">New York</option>
<option value="london">London</option>
<option value="tokyo">Tokyo</option>
<option value="paris">Paris</option>
</select>
</form>
As per your query there are lot of stuff available. I have used Select2.js. This having so many features. I tried some way to achieve you scenario.
$(function() {
$("#multiple").select2({
closeOnSelect : false,
placeholder : "Placeholder",
allowHtml: true,
allowClear: true,
tags: true
});
});
function iformat(icon, badge,) {
var originalOption = icon.element;
var originalOptionBadge = $(originalOption).data('badge');
return $('<span><i class="fa ' + $(originalOption).data('icon') + '"></i> ' + icon.text + '<span class="badge">' + originalOptionBadge + '</span></span>');
}
