Today we will show you some more UI elements: a search box with a filter and a large drop down menu. We will use jQuery in both elements for the effect. We will also use plenty of CSS3 properties to create some slick looking details.
Search Box with Filter

This search box reveals a drop down menu after the user clicks into the input field. The menu is meant to act as a filter with several checkbox options that allow the user to select specific categories for his search. When the user hovers out of the input or the filter box, the drop down will disappear.
Large Drop Down Menu

The large drop down menu is a good option for sites with a lot of navigation items. When the user hovers over one of the list items, the item enlarges to the width of the submenu and the submenu appears.
Hoooaaahhh… once again this is something I can immediately see a use for on my projects.
One thing that I think would be an improvement is if the up-or-down arrow was clickable. Confused me when I tried to open or close the filter menu using the arrow, finding it only opened when you click into the search box.
I did the same thing on my site, but with a few less options. I got my idea from the themeforest.net redesigned search.
The drop down menu is fantastic – I will have to spread the word to all those I know you love beautiful coded things :-)

In demo i’ve found two issues:
1. Text label of checkbox isn’t marked with tag
2. When checking checkbox, focus doesn’t return to input text field – it will be wery useful.

Thank you so much for the post!I was looking for a good searchbox with filter for some time and this is just wha I need!!Great work!! :)
Awesome!!!
That menu is awesome!
You should really use labels with ‘for’ attribute for checkboxes. :)
Excellent work.
A full blown, db driven php and ajaxified search using the filters would be awesome.
Love your Stuff Mary
