I have some HTML code in a PhoneGap application that displays a <select> box to the user. When I tap on it, the usual Android selection screen doesn't pop up. I had a similar problem with this earlier on webOS (although at that time the drop-downs were working properly).
The <select> is inside a <div> that gets hidden or shown at certain times during execution:
<div id="submit">
<ul class="rounded">
<li><select id="item"></select></li>
</ul>
</div>
The problem only occurs when the <div> has been hidden and then shown again (either directly through CSS or by using jQuery's hide() and show() methods. If I move the <select> box outside of that <div>, or if I make the <div> always visible, then the drop-down behaves as it should; no problems.
Why is this?
