Hi Tom, I did one more small enhancement; when the component is disabled, I prevent the dropdown list from opening. Let me know if you'd like me to roll in that code change for your consideration.

Thanx,

Hi Tom,

I wanted to let you know of a special case where I needed to modify the code for this plugin: the case where the displayed text and the underlying data value are different. We have several components where this is done; for example, a human-readable name is displayed but a more verbose ID used in the backend. I think I got the proper changes in the code so that it works ok with both our more complex use case as well as the more common simple list of strings. If you are interested, I can send you the altered code for your review. Then if you wish to roll it in as an enhancement you can, or you might find a better way to achieve the same thing since you know your own code better than I (and let me know what mistakes I might have made :-). Let me know if your interested. Thanx, /Mark

I'm having trouble finding a license for this software... if one exists could you post it, and if not could you consider applying a very liberal open source license? A lot of jquery ui plugins opt for MIT....

If there is just one item in the list, then the dropdown is appearing wrong; looks like another combobox. Observed on IE, FF and Chrome.

Hi, combify is the only plugin which allows input text to be sent to server.
However searching of options does not work for utf-8 strings, (ex, japanese characters)
Can the filter function improved to accept non-latin characters.

Thanks

If you do not specify id attribute in tag, choosing between options do not work, you will get this error in console instead: Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #

I don't see a proper way to attach listeners in your README. I tried adding an onchange event to the hidden input ID, but the change event I add doesn't seem to get triggered. I also tried:

$(document).on('change', '#hidden_input_id', function() {alert("I CHANGED");});

But the change event is never fired. Suggestions?

I use ajax in my project to select the option. Without combify, I can use this:
$('#myId').val(ajax_value);
With Combify, I need to use this:

$('#form-myId').val(ajax_value);
var innerOption = $('#form-myId').parent().parent().next().find('option[value='+ajax_value+']').text();
$('#CombifyInput-form-myId').val(innerOption);

It would be great to be able to use some official combify method for this instead of this hacky way.

When opening the dropdown box on Chrome with two items in the list, there is additional space showing below the items. There is roughly enough room for four items.
