I created a popup dropdown using Bootstrap Multiselect . I need to set a restriction in the choice of options (here I set it to 5), and if the limit is reached, I just turned off the other selection functions, and it works fine. But the problem is that I tried to select more than 5 using the SHIFT key. This does not work (means that my jQuery forbids the choice not to work) and I can choose more than 5. Please check the snippet and give me a solution.
JSFIDDLE
jQuery('#soft_skill_list').multiselect({
enableFiltering: true,
maxHeight:400,
enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering:true,
nonSelectedText: 'Soft Skills *',
numberDisplayed: 2,
selectAll: false,
onChange: function(option, checked) {
var selectedOptions = jQuery('#soft_skill_list option:selected');
if (selectedOptions.length >= 5) {
var nonSelectedOptions = jQuery('#soft_skill_list option').filter(function() {
return !jQuery(this).is(':selected');
});
nonSelectedOptions.each(function() {
var input = jQuery('input[value="' + jQuery(this).val() + '"]');
input.prop('disabled', true);
input.parent('li').addClass('disabled');
});
}
else {
jQuery('#soft_skill_list option').each(function() {
var input = jQuery('input[value="' + jQuery(this).val() + '"]');
input.prop('disabled', false);
input.parent('li').addClass('disabled');
});
}
}});
