A micro jQuery plugin, trimming long strings in multiselect elements. The problem it solves is very specific, but I recently had to deal with it and this is a working way to deal with it withought going for a full select / multiselect replacement plugin like Chosen for example.
Although this plugin has very limited use case it is also a learning experience for me. So any help, criticism and feedback in general is most welcome.
Download the production version or the development version.
Check the annotated source here.
bower install jquery-trim-multiselect
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery-trim-multiselect.min.jz"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
// Find options longer than the width of the element and shorten them
$('#myMultiSelect').trimMultiselect();
});
</script>See demo of the basic usage here.
