Using Chosen jQuery plugin as checkbox replacement for field with multiple values

fmeyer@nearbysoftware.com

Hello,

I played with the Chosen plugin for Editor found here.

It works well for a single select dropdown, but I'm failing to use it configured as a "multiple select" enabled control, which is needed to replace the Editor's "checkbox" field type for multiple values.

Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks

I did make it work using the following right after the initialisation of the editor object:

var chosenField = $('select', editor.field('myFieldName').node());
$(chosenField).attr("multiple", "");

This seems a little like a hack to me.
Any better solution anyone?

Can you show me how you were initialising the Chosen field please? It should be that you just pass in attr: { multiple: true } to the field.

Damn, this works fine.
Can't figure out how I missed this one from the documentation.
Thanks Allan.
