tail.select - Beautify Select Fields

Documentation
The Documentation has been moved to GitHubs Wiki Pages,
but I will keep a table of contents list here and some basic instructions.
Files
The tail.select
package contains different JavaScript files:
js/tail.select(.min).js
The main JavaScript with en
tranlation strings only.js/tail.select-full(.min).js
The main JavaScript with ALL available translations.js/tail.select-es6(.min).js
An experimental ECMAScript 2015 / ES6 Module version (includes all translations).langs/tail.select-all(.min).js
Just ALL translation strings itself.langs/tail.select-{locale}.js
Just the {locale} translation strings.
Basic Instructions
You can pass up to 2 arguments to the tail.select constructor, the first parameter is required
and need to be an Element
, a NodeList
, a HTMLCollection
, an Array with Element
objects or
just a single selector as string
, which calls the querySelectorAll()
method on its own. The
second parameter is optional and, if set, MUST be an object with your tail.select options.
