@rav3n
Thanks for your modification
only one notice; You added the lines after line 132
It should be added after 126. This way it will onOptionClick
Best Regards

This really helped me finishing one of my projects, Thanks
There is a little typo error on the readme.txt on the downloadable file.

It says :

	window.addEvent('domready', function(){
		var mySelect = new elSelect( {container : 'someId'} );

It should be

	window.addEvent('domready', function(){
		var mySelect = new elSelect( {container : 'someId'} );
		})

Regards

Looks brilliant, thanks a lot. Does anybody know how I can use it for several selects and with a different width? Many thanks

I can ‘t seem to get elSelect this to work in IE.

Here is my page:

http://www.theseagatehotel.com/www.theseagatehotel.com/index.html

It works fine in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4.0 on the PC (after I changed "injectInside" to "injectAfter" on line #60 in elSelect.js) — but IE 8 is giving me the following error message:

Message: ‘null’ is null or not an object
Line: 32
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: http://www.theseagatehotel.com/www.theseagatehotel.com/js/elSelect.js

Message: Object doesn’t support this property or method
Line: 1
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://www.theseagatehotel.com/www.theseagatehotel.com/js/reservations.js

I know that elSelect DOES in fact work in IE, since I am able to view the demo page in that browser without any problems. I suspect that IE just doesn’t like the fact that I have 3 elSelect dropdown boxes in the same page.

How can I fix this to get it to also work in IE?

Thanks,

The download still has the vital options.container vs. optionsContainer problem (line 61) mentioned back in 2008. Suggest u change so this so the script will $_POST values straight out of the zip. took me a while to figure out what was wrong.

Great script though, thx for the all the effort so that we can all get away from drab forms!

I rewrote the lines from DigyStyle

$$('div.elSelect div.optionsContainer').setStyle('display','none')

Is that short enough?
