I've just updated the plugin to address this and other lingering considerations.

I just realized this as well, so I have to stick with 1.4.4 until this fix is ready. Any idea when you will be able to troubleshoot this?

I would try myself, but I am new to jQuery, so the chances of me figuring it out are slim. I did look at the release notes for 1.5, but I didn’t see anything that seemed to relate to the features you are using in your code.

Thanks for a simple, great plugin!

It looks as if there was a change introduced in jQuery 1.5 that broke the plugin. I will fix this shortly.

To fix the blank value attribute of the new typed item you can add:

typingArea.attr(‘value’,text);

on line 84, just after this line:

typingArea.text(text);

That will make the value attribute always match the text of that option element. Thanks for the handy plugin!!

I am running jquery 1.3.2 and this thing works like a charm. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I am going to modify it alittle to maybe change the option’s color when text is typed in, maybe a variable location on the typed in field… I will try to send you the modified js file once i am done.

Thank you!

Having issues with it working with the latest version of jQuery (1.5.1). I tried the same code with the 1.3 version on the Google CDN and it works.

Great plugin thanks.

The latest version of jQuery (1.4.4) seems to be breaking simple combo in webkit browsers, the textbox is still there, but inputting text becomes impossible.

Looking for something (a widget? — I’m not a programmer) that will provide a substitute or complement the Windows 7 “save-as” function.

I routinely save a number of documents (about 25 or 30 per set). Each of the documents in the set has a name unique from the others in the set and each set is stored in a separate sub-directory (one subdirectory per each of my clients).

With the exception of the sub-directory, the names of each of the documents within the sets are identical to the names of documents in the sets. Any suggestions?

In simpler terms, I am a Realtor and each transaction has 25 or 30 documents — documents are the same from transaction to transaction. I want to scan each document, and then save it with the same exact name (for the specific document) each time — just to a different client’s subdirectory on my hard drive. It would be much simpler if, in the “save-as” dialogue box I could simply select the appropriate document name from the list, while pointing it is a specific sub-directory.
