Returning to default selection after collapse of select menu

in jQuery Mobile • 6 years ago

Hi All,

I'm using a jquery mobile form select menu similar to the ones on this page (http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.0a4.1/docs/forms/forms-selects.html). What I am trying to do is whether the user chooses an option in the popup or just closes, I would like for the dropdown to go back to "Choose one" but it always sets to what was selected. Any thoughts on how to achieve this? This does not seem like it should be difficult. Thanks

I apologize if this question was answered before but I have not been unable to find the answer.

The URL you posted above doesn't work. And jQuery Mobile 1.0a4.1 is a long-obsolete alpha version, released only for testing, before even the first official jQuery Mobile 1.0. It is several years out of date. We are now on 1.4.5.

Do you have an example of your own that you can post a link to? Or at least a link to something in the CURRENT demo, where you can explain what it does that you would like to work differently?

You were picking up the parethesis and period at the end of the url.

You will need to write a bit of code to reset it. And since you are going to reset it, and I assume you want to do SOMETHING with the selection the user has made, you will also have to write some code to "do something" with the selection.

Something like:

$(document).on('change', '#select-choice-4', function() {

var $select = $(this);

var choice = $select.val();

$select.val('').selectmenu('refresh');

// Now add some code here to "do something" with choice

});

But please use the current jQuery Mobile 1.4.5, instead of a Paleolithic alpha release that sleeps with the mastodons! 1.0a4.1 has been a dead parrot for years, and should not be expected to work correctly with current browsers. And it was NEVER SUPPORTED, as it was an early alpha test.

The current demo is here:
