    Ok, I’ll just write my own function to detect the changes I need. The Ajax detection might help.

    Thanks!

    When I use the filter and select and option, there is no class that activates anywhere on the filter indicating activation/use. It only disables for a moment and then returns to normal. Also just to let you know that link you sent about the :parent selector is a hypothetical suggestion of css. The first line is there are no parent selectors in CSS.
    <br />
    But anyway all I want to know is if there is anywhere in the filter functions that goes off when the filter is used/active so that I can trigger other things to happen on the page when the filter isn’t showing “all results”.

    Ok, I see what you are saying with the checkboxes. For the second one I don’t mean on an individual option. I mean I want to change the DOM based on if the entire filter has run or if it “clear”(showing all options). So as an example. I have the filter surrounded like this:

    
<div id="filter_holder" class="unactive">
<!-- filter is here -->
</div>

    And when someone activates an option or multiple options on the filter I want to append a class to surrounding holder like:

    
<div id="filter_holder" class="active">
<!-- filter is here -->
</div>

    This way I can show the users with extra css that the filter is narrowing down the results they are seeing.

    I just noticed that the title of the topic was parsed out, it was supposed to say “select to ul possible?” so that might have made it a little confusing.

    What I am hoping is to make it so that instead of the filter using the select elements and the code being:
    <select name="input_name"><option value="1"><option value="2"><option>
    It would render the drop downs as unordered lists so that they could be custom styled. like:
    <ul name="input_name"><li>option 1</li><li>option 2</li></ul>

    As for the second question, what I meant is so that when the form is submitted/changed by the user I want to append a new class to the filter/elements that shows that its active and remove it when the filter is just showing the default. Is there a specific hook I can use for when the form submits and has values vs when the form clears and returns to default.
