jqueryHow can I use jQuery to create a multi-select dropdown?

jQuery can be used to create a multi-select dropdown. A multi-select dropdown is a dropdown menu with multiple selectable options. The following example code uses jQuery to create a multi-select dropdown:

<select multiple="multiple">
  <option value="1">Option 1</option>
  <option value="2">Option 2</option>
  <option value="3">Option 3</option>
  <option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>

<script>
$("select").multiselect();
</script>

The code above will create a multi-select dropdown with four options. The user can select multiple options by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on the options.

The code consists of two parts:

1. HTML code to create the dropdown menu with options:
   • <select multiple="multiple">: This creates the dropdown menu and sets the multiple attribute to multiple to enable multiple selection.
   • <option>: This creates each of the options in the dropdown menu.
2. jQuery code to enable multiple selection:
   • $("select").multiselect(): This uses jQuery to enable multiple selection on the dropdown menu.
