Alternative To Mcdropdown

I'm building an autocomplete dropdown list where the user can pick from categories in several levels. On the previous version of the site, we used http://www.givainc.com/labs/mcdro

Solution 1:

How about Select2? It's different visually, but I think that the search functionality is faster than clicking around. It also displays subcategories in a vertical format.

Solution 2:

a couple of other alternatives:

jQuery menu - http://jqueryui.com/menu/

chosen.js - http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/

I think both support some kind of hierachy.

Solution 3:

mcDropdown is multi-level drop-down list. So, I believe the best alternative is ComboTree plugin in EasyUI

The combotree combines the selection control with drop-down tree. It is similar to combobox but replace the list with tree component.

You can also add auto-complete feature on it by some modifications. see: ComboTree - AutoComplete
