Bootstrap Multiselect is a jQuery plugin that transforms HTML select inputs with the multiple attribute into an intuitive Bootstrap-styled dropdown interface.
The plugin addresses the poor user experience of native multiple-select form controls by replacing them with a Bootstrap button that opens a dropdown menu where options appear as checkboxes. This approach provides a more polished and accessible interface that aligns with Bootstrap's design system while maintaining the underlying select input functionality.
The tool suits projects already using jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap where multiple-selection form inputs are needed. It is available through standard package managers and has been featured in Bootstrap resource collections. The plugin works by wrapping standard HTML select elements, so integration requires minimal changes to existing markup.
The project is seeking active maintainers and accepts donations to support ongoing development. The codebase is dual-licensed under both Apache License 2.0 and BSD 3-Clause License, providing flexibility for different use cases.
