jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using the jQuery JavaScript Library. jQuery UI is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. It can be used to build highly interactive web applications or can be used to add widgets easily.

The jQuery UI Selectable autoRefresh option is used to determine whether to refresh the position and size of each selected item. This option is set to “false” if you have many items.

Syntax:

Initialize selectable element with autoRefresh option:

$(".selector").selectable({
   autoRefresh: false
});

Set or return autoRefresh option after initialization: 

// Set the autoRefresh option
$( ".selector" ).selectable( "option", "autoRefresh", false );

// Return the autoRefresh option
var auto_refresh = $( ".selector" )
  .selectable( "option", "autoRefresh" )
