Chosen has zero length when initialized in a hidden container about gwtchosen HOT 7 CLOSED

Check the issue #11
It's a bug in GwtQuery itself. You can either use the last snapshot of gwtQuery or call the method forceRedraw() of the ChosenListBox when the tab is showing

Hi Julien.
Thanks for the response.

The issue is reproduced even with the latest gwtquery snapshot (though forceRedraw() helps).
But I'm afraid the problem is not in gwtquery itself, but rather on a browser level. The element's offsetWidth and clientWidth are 0 until the element is shown in browser. At least this is how firefox behaves.

Unfortunately forceRedraw() is not a good fit for our case... Will look for another workaround.

nope it's a bug in GQuery. JQuery is able to calculate the dimensions of a invisible element (it makes temporarily the element visible and gets the dimension).

I will test and reopen the GQuery bug if it's needed

BTW, the Chosen itself is not capable to handle similar case correctly. Check this gist: https://gist.github.com/3866363

You are using an old version of jquery : use the last one (1.8.2) and your
example works.

FYI, by waiting that GwtQuery is fixed, I fix the issue directly in GwtChosen.

Could you test with the last snapshot : https://github.com/jDramaix/gwtchosen/raw/master/release/gwtchosen-1.0.3-snapshot.jar

Please comment directly on the issue #11
Thanks
