Select all option

[johnflan]

It would be very useful to offer 'select-all' as an initialisation option.

What do you mean by initialization option?

Hi David,
I was thinking about something like providing a constructor option to select every element when the control is created.
I see that there is an example on the demo site for selecting/deselecting all options but its done by explicitly iterating through all items. It would be nice if this was performed as a function on the control itself.

I was looking for this as well. Perhaps the simplest thing would be a particular 'value' in the select method that would select the "all" item:
.multiselect('select', 'Select-All', triggerOnChange)

Great tool! Thanks for your efforts!

OK, I will have a look. This should not be too difficult as the plugin already uses a selectAll option.

@johnflan your problem should simply be solved by setting all options of the select to selected, the plugin will mirror the initial state. However, I will think about integrating an option where all elements can be checked from the beginning.

The selectAll and deselectAll methods are documented and should solve this issue.
