I've been utilizing the Chosen jQuery plugin.
Recently, I encountered an issue with a form where users could select from a list of options. However, upon submitting the form and reloading the div containing the select element, the style was completely lost, reverting to a classic look. After some investigation, it became apparent that there were significant differences in the HTML content before and after the post.
Let's take a closer look at the generated HTML content:
Prior to submission, this was the HTML structure:
<div class="form-group " id="some">
<div>
<select id="id" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="1">Option1</option>
<option value="2">Option2</option>
<option value="3">Option3</option>
</select>
<div class="chosen-container chosen-container-single" style="width: 40px; min-width: 0px;" title="" id="id_chosen">
<a class="chosen-single" tabindex="-1">
<span class="chosen-single-content">Select...</span>
</a>
<ul class="chosen-results">
<li class="active-result result-selected" style="">Select...</li>
<li class="active-result">Option1</li>
<li class="active-result">Option2</li>
<li class="active-result">Option3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
After interacting with the service, the returned HTML code had altered within the div holding the select element, resulting in new content:
Here is the modified version:
<div class="form-group " id="wrapper_idrefAddAtcd" style="">
<div>
<select id="id" class="form-control">
<option value="">Sélect...</option>
<option value="1">Option1</option>
<option value="2">Option2</option>
<option value="3">Option3</option>
</select>
</div>
Notably, only the initial portion of the select element was rendered in this revised HTML snippet. The whereabouts of the second part remain a mystery. Any insights into this peculiar behavior would be greatly appreciated.
