Any idea when this will be working with safari? Shame that it doesn’t right now. Let me know when it does!

There seems to be a problem when an options contains the ampersand & which results in an & (ampersand plus following amp;) in the input proxy.

Changing “$input.val($(this).html());” to “$input.val($(this).text());” seems to prevent this.

Also, what if an option is disabled?

If you use this with multiple select tags, if you select something from a select tag, the other select tag’s selected list item would have its selected class name taken off.

This is a bug, and a simeple fix is:

at line 221: $(’li… => $(this).parent().find(’li…

Thanks for the plugin!

To setup the onchange event:
add this line of code to the setCurrent() function, just before the
return true; line

$(”#”+$input.attr(’id’).substring(0, $input.attr(’id’).length-6)).trigger(’onchange’);

it works for me in XP Firefox and XP IE7

I am not that familiar with this type of coding

Thanks

Clicks on the list only work propperly if you click on text. Can you implement {li}{span}linktext{/span}{/li} instead of {{li}linktext{/li} please? Then you can set “span {width:100%}” in the CSS.

It is very strange … sometimes the Select style works some times it does not.
It was working even when I use the mouse … then I refreshed the page and stopped working.

Any idea?

Hello,

When I use a Current CSS Class as follows it works fine:
currentClass: ’selected’

If I caps the first letter, then it does not work:
currentClass: ‘Selected’

And yes, I change my CSS Class from selected to Selected.

This is a really strange error.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks,
Miguel
