From the developer
thenbrent's own description of Chosen for WordPress, lightly tidied.
This plugin implements the Chosen jQuery Plugin for WordPress.
Chosen makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly.
This plugin applies Chosen to any select box in your post and page content. The relevant Javascript & CSS files are only loaded if the post in question includes a select box or a [contact-form] shortcode.
