ASP.NET MVC combo dropdown box

Question

Is it possible to create a dropdown box in ASP.NET MVC, that has a checkbox alongside each item in the dropdown list?

I know it sounds simple, in webforms or using telerik this would be pretty simple, but I can't figure how I can implement the same thing in basic HTML.

Thanks

You can use a jQuery plugin called DropDownCheckList to get the wanted effect of a dropdownlist with multiselect options.

Its pretty easy, all you need to do is to create a html listbox and call the jQuery plugion to extend the listbox.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#listbox").dropdownchecklist();
    }
</script> 

<select id="listbox" multiple="multiple">
                <option>Option 1</option>
                <option>Option 2</option>
                <option>Option 3</option>
            </select>

a dropdown with each element of the dropdown having a checkbox? that's not a standard element of HTML, why would you even need that? a multiple option is what you need:

I have eight options of something, the number of the thing can grow dynamically. I use these options on the top of a page to filter some results accordingly. There are many filtering areas and I want to lower the row count for this option's selection to one and also users want to see all the available selections.
