Using jQuery style elements for styles

Question

I saw how jquery was used to change the drop-down list of the form selection in the form of a "beautiful" widget with a drop-down list. I can't remember where I saw this, but does anyone have any links or sample code that show examples of using jquery elements for styles? I would prefer it to be code rather than an inline plugin.

thanks

Answer 1

You may like this or this (smooth initial look). Both plugins are aimed at an unobtrusive replacement by default <select> .

Answer 2

You cannot style drop-down lists. These are OS level elements, not CSS elements. You can replace them with a DIV combination to emulate a drop-down list, but the styling on the drop-down lists is pretty limited.

Answer 3

try replacing select replacing a thread group that supports jquery ui theme roll!

for checkboxes try the following:

for other form elements just use CSS and images!

Answer 4

jQtransform is the best plugin I've found so far. It is very easy to implement and progress.

This also unobtrusively replaces the default <select> field.

Also here's another: uniform plugin this has many options.
