##Requirements
jQuery 1.8.3+ (It is always recommended to use the latest version of jQuery)
##Desktop Browser Support
IE8+, Firefox 4+, Chrome, Safari 4+, Opera 11+ (Other browsers may work, but I did not test on them)
##Mobile/Tablet Browser Support
iOs 3+, Android 2.1+ , Windows Mobile (Other browsers may work, but I did not test on them)
##Forking
If you find that you need a feature that SumoSelect does not currently support, either let me know via the SumoSelect issue tracker, or fork SumoSelect on Github and easily extend SumoSelect to create your own widget!
##Usage
*To just go with the default options simply do*
```javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.SlectBox').SumoSelect();
});
```
*To provide optional settings, simply pass settings object to SumoSelect()*
```javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.SlectBox').SumoSelect({placeholder: 'This is a placeholder', csvDispCount: 3 });
});
```
If you want a instance to the SumoSelect object to call handler methods
```javascript
var MySelect;
$(document).ready(function () {
MySelect = $('.SlectBox').SumoSelect();
});
```
*NOTE: SumoSelect returns an array of select elements if there are more than one in the matching selector.*
You can also find the instance to SumoSelect object by directly selecting your select element like
```javascript
$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo. .....
```
You can perform all the operations on underlying original select and then reload the UI by
```javascript
$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo.reload();
```
**Settings**
The following settings are available now:
- `placeholder` `(string)` The palceholder text to be displayed in the rendered select widget (on priority basis). *Maximum priority is given to native placeholder attribute in select tag i.e. - `` - Then the option with disabled and selected attribute i.e. `
