fastselect's Issues

Reload the data when fast select opens every time

Hi,

It seems fast select cache the data once it gets the data from server. So subsequent mouse clicks on the control gets me the old values.

How to force fastselect to load the data everytime user clicks on the control.? . The reason I am doing is becausem . my parameter to the server URL will be a combination of other control values along with search text entered by user..

So whenever user opens/clicks the control it should reload the data every time using its get/ajax call.. I want to force this behavior..?

Is there a way..?

How to resize the width on fast select "multiple selectable options"? Anyone?

addChoiceItem() doesn't update query input display - with solution

As coded, if you programmatically call addChoiceItem() on a fastselect with no selected values, the input still thinks it's attached to a fastselect with no selected values, even though you just selected one. The expected behaviour is that when you programmatically select one, the input will adjust its display to reflect the fact that you have at least one value selected. I was able to accomplish this by adding the following code to addChoiceItem, defined on line 703 in the current build:

711			this.$el.removeClass(this.options.noneSelectedClass);
712			this.$queryInput.removeClass(this.options.queryInputExpandedClass).attr('placeholder','').val('');

With this edit, the input adjusts automatically when an item is programmatically selected.

Hide options after selecting

Is there a way to hide the options(drop-down) after i select/click an option?

fastselect does not always deselect!

With the multi-select option, the behavior I am expecting is when an item is deleted (by clicking on the cross), it is also deselected from the drop down.
In some cases, this is occurring ok, but in other cases the item remains selected. (see attached).

This is the one that does not work:

This one does work:

I have compared the html and cannot see any differences, so it is a mystery why the deselect is not working in some cases.

I am using MVC5 ASP.NET

Please help....

Multiple selectable options text input

Great tool :) In your first example "Multiple selectable options", if I type : "fra" I get the correct option and I can select "France". However, when selecting "France", the input area is not cleared from the "fra" I just typed...
Is there any way to avoid this kind of behavior ?

stop multi-select from wrapping to next line?

Hi,
Is it possible to make the selections remain on one line without having them wrapping when they hit the end of the initial select box size? I don't like the way it makes the box grow in size...

The destroy is function private and does not seem to be used

When used inside a JQuery dialog it can be important to tidy up when the dialog is closed. Fastselect does implement a 'destroy' function but, perhaps because it is not implemented as a widget, this function is not called so the plugin does not tidy up the extra HTML it adds to the page.

It will be great if the destroy function can be exposed.

In the meantime, here is a hack to invoke the function and tidy up:

var elements = jQuery('');
elements.each(function() { jQuery.data(this, 'fastselect').destroy(); });
elements.prop('selectedIndex', -1);

Sortable tags

Have anyone tried to sort the output by dragging so that user will have the option to arrange the order of the selection.

Add new option to existing fastselect

I'm trying to do this by re-creating the fastselect instance in the same select element.

//add new <option> to <select> $select
$select.fastselect(options); //re-create fastselect

But it doesn't work. I also tried using the 'destroy' method just before calling '$select.fastselect(options);'.

A would like to add the new option at the first position.

Thanks you !

In multiselect mode, searching then selecting doesn't refresh the display - with solution

If you start typing in a multiselect input, the displayed results are filtered based on your search criteria. This is good!

If you then click on one of the results, the search string disappears, but the results remain filtered, with no visual cue as to what's wrong or how to fix it. This is bad.

It's caused by line 454 of fastselect.js, which is as follows:

451        clear: function() {
452
453            this.hideResults();
454            this.$input.val('').trigger('change');
455
456            return this;
457
458        },

The problem is that there is no listener for the change event! This can be fixed by changing line 454 to

this.$input.val('').trigger('keyup');

This change will cause the input to correctly re-open the results with no filter applied. Of course, you might decide that it's better to let the user choose whether to clear the filter, in which case you'd want to remove that line entirely, but I'm sure that comes down to personal preference. The clear() function is only called under this circumstance, so you will not break anything else by commenting out line 454 if that is your desired behaviour.

Close select after one chosen item?

Hey,

The plugin is great.
But is it possible to close the dropdown on every item select?

Because I have little place to click outside the dropdown to hide it.
And users don't like it much.

Use case: Selecting an option in a select changes available options in the next select.
