Replace Chosen jQuery Plugin for Font Select Preview
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.
