multiple:false and IE7 about jquery-ui-multiselect-widget

Thanks, I will check it out. I cannot add the name attribute because otherwise the values will be submitted twice. Once for the radio/checkbook, and once for the original underlying select. Only the values from the original select should be submitted; multiselect is really just a new interface to select them.

Right, I didn't even think of that. I'm catching the form submit, scraping the values with getChecked and sending it off in an ajax request so I didn't run into it.

I'll look into another solution and post if I find anything.

OK, I landed a fix for all single select and associated IE problems: 7a6258a

As it turns out, IE6/7 require the name attr for inputs to work correctly, so as much as I didn't want to include it, there's no other work around without bloating the code base severely.

Users just need to be aware that the values will come through from the original select box under the original select box's name, as well as a name generated by multiselect. So if you have a select control with the name and id "foo", and you select the "bar" option, serialization will look like this:

foo=bar&multiselect_foo=bar

This goes for single selects and multiple selects. If folks really dislike this then they can setup a submit handler that'll remove the name attr from all the inputs so they won't be transmitted. Seems like a good compromise to receive full IE compatibility.
