Ajax.InPlaceSelect

October 25th, 2006 by SubZane

Creates a select control in place of the html element with the id specified. It functions similar to Ajax.InPlaceEditor but instead of an input control, it creates a select control with a list of options from which to choose. The parameters ‘values’ and ‘labels’ are arrays (of the same length) from which the options are defined.

I took the liberty to update InPlaceSelect class for scriptaculous since I felt some features where missing.

  • Added option “okButton” (default true)
  • Added option “okText” (default ‘ok’)
  • Added option “cancelText” (default ‘cancel’)
  • Added option to take use of the onChange method or not. (default false)
  • Added support for multi choice selects
  • Added option “multiSelect” (default false)
  • Added option “multiDelimiter” (default ‘
    ‘)

    Google does not state whether you should use url_rewrite or not using flash. It indexes anything it sees. I mean javascript may be a problem but focus on the big picture. don’t worry about the details.

    by the way script is great :)

    Man! I created the original Ajax.InPlaceSelect and forgot about the scriptaculous ticket I attached it. Now I find this. Amazing! It has its own live now.

    Glad it helped someone.
