Was debugging some code that was broken due to jquery 1.6 update, and found this call for Jquery dropdown.val
|

$("#dropDownSelect option[text=" + myText +"]").attr("selected","selected") ; |
Not working anymore but a simple fix of changing it to

1 |
$("#dropDownSelect option[text=" + myText +"]").prop("selected",true) ; |
This does the trick, for more on prop take a look at the api of jquery http://api.jquery.com/prop/
Was coding some new functionality and though I would post this, so that others can find it helpful. Lets say you have a form that has a checkbox that will update the select dropdown box with different values, when the checkbox is clicked. Something like the UI below. Your html code might look like

This will pop up the print functionality in your browser and send it with the default media=”print” css or […]
So for some reason IE just loves to cache things for you when you call an ajax method, thus my JQuery get ajax call not working in IE. Something like
|
1 2 3 4 |
$('#mybutton').live('click', function() { $.post('SaveLanguage', { lang : $(this).val(), null, null); $.get('GetLanguage', null, function(html) { $('#myDiv').replaceWith(html); }); }); |
This will work every time in firefox but IE will just call the cache version, thus whatever you have changed in the post version […]
So was having issues as in why does my checkbox doesn’t work in IE when I do
|
1 2 3 |
$('.checkbox').live('change', function() { alert('Checkbox clicked'); }); |
And found out that jquery does not bind live “change” events, I was told that it works in 1.4.2 but for some reason I still was not able to get it working. The solution that I found […]
