A Leaflet plugin which adds new control to switch between different layers on the map. New control extends L.Control.ActiveLayers and replaces radio button panel with select tag. This plugin will be useful for you when you have a lot of the base layers in the control. For example.
It is very hard to tap on a desirable layer and the "Clouds" layer can't be tapped at all on a screenshot below.

})
map = L.map('map', {
center: new L.LatLng(39.73, -104.99),
zoom: 10,
layers: [mapnikLayer, clouds]
})
var baseLayers = {
'Mapnik': mapnikLayer,
'Black and Whilte': blackAndWhite
}
var overlayLayers = {
'Clouds': clouds
}
var control = L.control.selectLayers(baseLayers, overlayLayers)
control.addTo(map)
Plugin inherits API from L.Control.Layers and L.Control.ActiveLayers.
