having issues filtering select option list with another select option list
I have tested this and it works in FF but not in IE. I initially tried show and hide select options but that works only in FF.
Does someone have a good example of how to remove and add back options into the select list?
My main confusion is how to get back the variables (like a reset button).
$("#filterlist").change(function() {
var filter = $(this).val();
$("#mainlist option").each(function() {
if (filter == "*"){
$(this).attr("disabled","");
} else
{
var match = $(this).text().search(new RegExp(filter, 'i'));
if (match != -1) {
$(this).attr("disabled","");
}
else{
$(this).attr("disabled","disabled");
}
}
});
});
