How can I implement a multi-line drop down select list with jQuery

Question

I have a select list where some items in the list of choices are multi-line. I heard that there are some jQuery plugins that can help me out. If there's anyone out there with some experience of these I'd much appreciate some suggestions.

thanks,

I would create a simulation of a dropdown box using jQuery, instead of actually using a <select/> element. This is done all the time for Dropdown's in web navigation menus, so doing something similar in this instance would solve your issue.
