Dear Manuel,

Thanks for your superb class.
Id like to add some data attributes to the options of a select input.
Is there a work-around to do this? The class only accepts a one-dimensional array for the options.

thanks! Bart

btw: I found your custom form_list_select_class, but I like to maintain the dropdown effect of a select button.
Is there another way to add attributes to the options?

You can use the ExtraAttributes parameter to specify an associative array of custom attributes.

Thanks for replying.
The ExtraAttributes parameter adds attributes to the select tag. My object is to add attributes to the option tags. Is that possible?

Currently it is not yet possible, but you can create a custom input to implement the functionality as you need.
