Professional Javascript Select Boxes for jQuery & Prototype

"
Chosen is a javascript plug-in makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors. Instead of forcing your users to scroll through a giant list of items, they can just start typing the name of the item they were looking for.
Add Chosen’s files to your app and then add the class chzn-select to your select box. Chosen automatically respects optgroups, selected state, the multiple attribute and browser tab order. You don’t need to do anything else except customize the style as you see fit.

Requirements: jQuery or Prototype Framework Demo: http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/ License: MIT License

Create Beautiful Dropdowns with DropKick jQuery Plugin

Create Beautiful Dropdowns with DropKick jQuery Plugin: "
Creating custom dropdowns is usually a tedious process that requires a ton of extra setup time. Oftentimes lacking conveniences that native dropdowns have such as keyboard navigation. DropKick removes the tedium and lets you focus on making your dropdowns look good.
DropKick also degrades gracefully: if the user has javascript disabled everything will continue as normal using your regular <select> elements. And it works on on IE7 and 8 too.
