Adding options dynamically about jquery.customselect HOT 4 CLOSED

There are two ways to do it. The best way is to append your options then run customSelect:

But sometimes you need to add options to a select that already has customSelect. In that case, you append your options, then trigger an update:

from jquery.customselect.

Yeah, i know that, and i actually done it in one case, but in another one when i am not able to find function responsible for filling my select i can't use any of those methods, because first one is emptying my select because of trigger update and i can't use second one.

P.S. I have this problem in magento commerce and i really don't want to change any core js files which are filling my selects.

Not really familiar with magento. Ideally you would want to trigger the update inside a callback or event handler, so you could check the magento docs for that. Otherwise, you said it is working, but the only other suggestion I might say is you could poll to check when the content of the select changes.

<select id="myselect"></select>

js

var $select = $('#myselect');
function checkIfSelectHasBeenPopulated(){
    if($select.html().length<1){
        setTimeout(checkIfSelectHasBeenPopulated,300);
    }else{
        $select.trigger('update');
    }
}
checkIfSelectHasBeenPopulated();

from jquery.customselect.

Me neither. And that's why i'am struggling with it. I will stay with my little fix.

Many thanks for your time and a great script :)
