Comments on: New release of jQuery selectbox replacement http://www.brainfault.com/2008/02/10/new-release-of-jquery-selectbox-replacement/ Just another blog Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:53:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mark McDonnell http://www.brainfault.com/2008/02/10/new-release-of-jquery-selectbox-replacement/#comment-346 Mark McDonnell Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:01:29 +0000 http://www.brainfault.com/2008/02/10/new-release-of-jquery-selectbox-replacement/#comment-346 I managed to get the ‘onchange’ event to work (caveat: I have to hardcode onchange=”" onto the selectbox)… SEE: http://www.brainfault.com/2007/07/23/select-box-replacement/ and comment 13,14 for fix to plugin …the problem now is trying to work out what element is selected!? Currently my hard coded onchange event calls a function which does nothing but alert(this) and that just returns a jQuery object. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I’ve not got a lot of time here either :-( as I used this plugin in a project and although it solved our design issues with select boxes, now that our server-side developer has finally gotten round to start building a dynamic back-end system we’ve discovered this onchange event issue and it’s causing us big delays in getting our project finished without just scraping the plugin altogether!). Thanks again! M. I managed to get the ‘onchange’ event to work (caveat: I have to hardcode onchange=”” onto the selectbox)…

What would I need to update in the js code to do this, as it seems something in the plugin is overriding my js event listener? Thanks for any help! M. Hi,

I’m having trouble getting the ‘onchange’ event to fire?

What would I need to update in the js code to do this,
as it seems something in the plugin is overriding my js event listener?

Thanks for any help!

I just had to say.... the three people in the world that use Opera on the Mac sure are going to be put out by that! Anyhow, thanks for the plugin. My main problem was that my designer insisted on totally styled dropdowns with button graphics, etc. so this is perfect. Peter Antonius: “But Opera in Mac still submits the form.”

The only problem, like Peter and Gonzalo already said, is that the scrolling bar desapears when it's clicked. I would really appreciate if someone put a fix code here. Thanks! Cool pluging!

I've fixed a minor bug: * Version: 0.5 - line 160 I've added this: $input.val($(li).html().replace('&','&')); as otherwise ampersands would be shown as & once selected hopfully someone will write a striphtmlcharacters feature :D Great plugin indeed! I’ve fixed a minor bug:

* Version: 0.5 - line 160

I’ve added this:

$input.val($(li).html().replace(’&’,'&’));

as otherwise ampersands would be shown as & once selected

I am trying to use this in a form that is invoked through a thickbox. If I view the page itself, it works fine; however, when loaded in an iframe in the thickbox, nothing happens. Thoughts?
