##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

 $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.SlectBox').SumoSelect();
     });

To provide optional settings, simply pass settings object to SumoSelect()

 $(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

 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

	$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo. .....

You can perform all the operations on underlying original select and then reload the UI by

	$('select.SlectBox')[0].sumo.reload();
