Select Dropdown Widget with jQueryUI

This widget can be imported in your forms.py file and used like so: formfield = forms.ModelChoiceField(widget=SelectDropdownWidget, queryset=Model.objects.all()) The javascript is provided by [filament group's Scott and his jQueryUI Selectmenu](http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ui_selectmenu_an_aria_accessible_plugin_for_styling_a_html_select/). In addition to the javascript you will need [jQuery (the latest release is fine) and jQuery UI](http://jqueryui.com/). The convenient thing is that this widget will style to match whichever jQuery UI you've 'rolled' or selected, making it highly customizable! Hopefully this helps others who wanted a nice widget with jQuery and were sad to find there were no nice default options, enjoy! :)

urlize HTML

The default Django urlize filter does not work with html nicely so here I've used an HTML parser [BeautifulSoup](http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) to quickly search through each text node and run the django urlize filter on it. Optimizations could be made to include a regex in the soup.findAll() method's text argument to only search those text nodes which matched a url pattern. You could also modify the method to convert the text to urls, such as using your own custom url filter.
