Replace Chosen jQuery Plugin for Font Select Preview

Open chipcullen opened this issue 11 years ago • 0 comments

A plugin that the current Font Combinator makes a lot of use of is Chosen, which has been great. It creates a very attractive, stylable select menu with a search function.

A core feature that it allows is font previews in the drop down.

In an effort to convert to Vanilla JS ( #6 ), I can't use that plugin any more.

Aspects to this issue:

  • Default HTML <select> options are not stylable. I can't apply fonts to the options. Just not possible.
  • Consider: an option that doesn't use <select> - a panel of radio buttons, maybe?
  • Replicating Chosen's functionality in Vanilla JS - that is, recreating
  • Consider retaining jQuery purely for the use of this plugin. I can still author using Vanilla JS. jQuery is not the cause of my lack of performance.
