Adding new options on the fly

[gootik]

Added a new option "add_new_options". If it is set, when a result is not found chosen will treat the new entry as an option and adds it to the selected list. work both on multiple select and single select.

e.g.

$('#.chosen-select').chosen({add_new_options: true});

Thanks, great feature, works perfectly on my end, so please merge.

changes should be done in the CoffeeScript source, not in the compiled JS code (your changes would be lost ont eh next compilation otherwise). And according to the contributing rules, changes must be applied to both the jQuery and the Prototype implementations to be accepted.

[stof]

Btw, this implementation is bad as it does not notify when a new option is added, letting the user add the option he wants in a select without giving a chance to execute some logic to make the choice valid (for instance doing a query to the server to add the option as a valid choice).

See #5 for the feature request and #166, #316, #320 and #326 for alternate implementations (which are more complete and implemented in coffeescript)

Like @stof says, pull request that have changes made directly in the JS will never get merged. And you have to make the changes for both the jQuery version as the the Prototype version. Like stated in the README:

Contributing to Chosen

Contributions and pull requests are very welcome. Please follow these guidelines when submitting new code.

1. Make all changes in Coffeescript files, not JavaScript files.
2. For feature changes, update both jQuery and Prototype versions

[stof]

btw, I don't think it is worth it reimplementing your PR in CoffeeScript as the implementation in #166 is better IMO

#166 didn't work for me, but this did. Why no Pull Request on this is merged onto master, @pfiller?
Thanks!

[koenpunt]

@tute Why did #166 not work for you?

[pfiller]

Thanks @shezarkhani

As @stof mentions, #166 seems to be a more complete way of handling this feature request so closing in favor of that.
