Jquery UI preventing ajax auto submit?

Hi,

Firstly I think this plugin is great – and I’ve been through a few.

I have a little issue and i wonder if you can shed some light. I am trying to run Jquery UI to override the select menus and allow them to be styled better;

( ".postform" ).selectmenu();

It over-rides the styles fine but unfortunately prevents the Ajax auto submit. Using a submit button works fine. Is there something I should be doing to allow this?

I guess doing that replaces the event handlers on the object so you would need to try to recreate the effect of the auto submit.

So something like

$(document).on('change', '.searchandfilter select', function(){
	$('.searchandfilter').submit();
});

In the actual S&F autosubmit there is a a setTimeout which gives a small delay before submitting allowing for further user input. If the user interacts with the form any existing timeouts are cancelled, and a new timeout is called with the submit function.

The next version of S&F has quite a bit of a JS rewrite and there are some easy ways to unload and reload the script associated with with S&F which would probably be what you want to be using after the update – although above advice should still be sound.

Thanks

Thank you, that steered me in the right direction.

Unfortunately it still was;t quite right, and with my limited javascript knowledge, I had to do a little workaround as the page was reloading rather than using Ajax.

However, by adding a submit button I then hid it using CSS. I then used this script to allow a click function to be performed on it

$('.searchandfilter select').on('selectmenuchange', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.sf-field-submit input').click();
});

It works, but it’s a little bit hacky. If you have any more ideas that would be great.

Looking forward to the new version.

Thanks.
