<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery.minimalect.css" media="screen" />

JavaScript for Displaying a Customized Select Box

*Include jquery.min.js (version 1.8) and jquery.minimalect.js files. Use $().minimalect() to specify the tag element you want to display as a customized select box. Other options can also be specified.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.minimalect.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
	//$("select").minimalect();
	$("#example1").minimalect();
	$("#example2").minimalect({ theme: "bubble", placeholder: "選択項目がありません。" });
});
</script>
