You can use this extension to do that: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/echosen I am using it and it is really straight forward. It is a wrapper for the Chosen JQuery Plugin (http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/)

thank you Haensel for this extension i’ve tried it but it does’nt show anything

<?php $this->widget( 'ext.EChosen.EChosen', array(

  'target' => 'select',

  'useJQuery' => false,

  'debug' => true,

)); ?>

do you know what should i do please

Simply create a checkboxlist somewhere in your view and place the above code in the same view. The code only transforms a checkboxlist but doesn’t create one for you.

use this link…i solved the same by using this.

http://code.google.com/p/dropdown-check-list/

in your layout main.php

[b]

paste this with [/b]

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php //echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/css/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php //echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/css/ui.dropdownchecklist.themeroller.css" />

<?php

    $cs = Yii::app()->clientScript;





    $cs->scriptMap = array(


        'jquery.js' => Yii::app()->request->baseUrl . '/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js',


        'jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js' => Yii::app()->request->baseUrl . '/js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js',


    );





    $cs->registerScriptFile('jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js');


    ?>


    <?php Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile(Yii::app()->request->baseUrl . '/js/ui.dropdownchecklist-1.4-min.js'); ?>

then

in your root directory

put these files with in the directory(js,css,src)

1:…js/ui.dropdownchecklist-1.4-min.js

2:…/js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.min.js

3:…/css/ui.dropdownchecklist.themeroller.css

4:…/css/jquery-ui-1.8.13.custom.css

5:…/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js

Make sure to have your array(‘multiple’=>‘multiple’)

in dropDownList form element.

and in _form.php

use this

<script type="text/javascript">

var $storeDir1 = jQuery.noConflict();


$storeDir1(function(){


    $storeDir1('#Modelname_DropdownlistId').dropdownchecklist({icon: {},maxDropHeight: 150,Width:100, emptyText: "Select"});





});

use your model name and dropdownlist id

Modelname_DropdownlistId

these are directory with file name.should be in root directory

Hope will solve your problem.

reply if ur getting any problem

Best wishes.
