jQuery Chosen plugin without search field

Question

Not sure if this has been covered somewhere, but I couldn\'t find it in the documentation, and was wondering if it\'d be possible to not include the search input box with the jQ

Answer 1

Newer versions of jquery chosen gives you option to disable search input with in dropdown.

$(".chzn-select").chosen({
   disable_search: true
});

Older versions do not support this option. Some how if you are strictly not allowed to use newer version than you can use

$(".chzn-select").chosen({
   disable_search_threshold: 5
});

it will hide the search box if results are less than 5, best to use with gender type dropdowns. There is another way to fix this and that is;

$(".chzn-select").chosen();
$(".chzn-select").hide();

Call hide immediately after initialization, don't know why this tricks works but it is doing what you want!

I suggest you to use the latest version so you have access to latest options.

Hope it works for you!
