If you take the tags: true line out this is how initialize my select2 boxes. You will in the data: area there is a .empty jQuery command to empty to select2 box before it pulls data. This post is for another problem, but, again, with that one line remove it is my fully functional select2 initialization code. the "n: n" is passing the current time forcing caching browsers, such as ie, to re-pull the server data every time instead of using cached data.
