Is there a fully-functional dropdown replacement for HTML SELECT that works in IE?
- by Ken Paul
We determined in a previous question that many features of HTML SELECTs are not supported in IE. Is there an alternative widget that you would recommend from your experience that meets the following requirements?
Respects the contentEditable property (does not allow selection changes if true)
Respects the disabled property of individual OPTIONs (shows them "grayed out" or with strike-through font, and makes them un-selectable)
Supports Option Groups (OPTGROUP elements)
Supports style options such as border and margin in the SELECT and all sub-elements
Supports dynamic add and delete of OPTION and OPTGROUP elements
Supports the above in IE version 6 and above
EDIT: As noted by @Joel Coehoorn, items 3 and 5 above are currently supported in IE. They are included here to make sure they are not overlooked in a replacement widget.
