Low-Effort Select

    Here's a low-effort select box I made. The dropdown list scrolls against the grain, so you don't have to move your cursor as far. Based off of our Custom Select Box jQuery plugin. Check it out live here.

    Works in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (latest versions for sure). Haven't perfected it yet for IE. :)

    Edit: Does not /yet/ work on Mobile Webkit. It will soon, though.

    Edit to the Edit: Keyboard control doesn't work yet earlier... on the list!

    This is a great experiment. I'd love to read some usability results on whether or not this shortens the selection time.

    hey no keyboard navigation (up down keys don't work to select options), making it less accessible :(

    @Avedh - This is still something I am working on. Keyboard control coming ASAP. I have a list of to-do's. :)

    Nice work Andy! The concept is terrible!
    But, I don't like the fact, that If your mouse leaves the dropdown, you close it.
    Anyway, bravo!

    @Victor - Thanks? Haha. Well, I was deciding with whether or not the menu should close on mouseout. That may be something I will remove. Just a test, really.

    In Mobile Safari, it brings up native controls.

    Keyboard commands work, too!
