I've always been creating an addEvent method but this now sounds stupid way to go if there can be done through inheritence of the selects events.... I think the filter approach is best, less bloat to go single way. Ofcourse theres also the up/down cursor... I look forward to seeing yr implementation.. or lets discuss further hey. that’s quite a list.

Anything further to add? Yeah, you’re probably right — so you’d go for basics specs like this:

Anything further to add?
