Comment on jQuery Selectmenu widget for jquery-ui 1.8 by Adrian Grigore

@Rushyo: You are right about indentation. However, Styling select items uniformly for different browsers is not possible. Making them look good on all browsers is also not possible. Here’s an article on that topic:

Regarding your comment: “If JQuery can do it, so can anyone else. It doesn’t have any ’special capabilities’ over any other JS code.”

You are assuming that the plugin just styles the SelectMenu. However, that’s not what it does. Instead, it mimics a SelectMenu using some html elements and click / key handlers.

Addendum since tags are stripped:

“I’m not sure what even is.” should read “I’m not sure what the group element even is.”

“Unfortunately there is no way to style native elements and Firefox lacks proper indentation for the elements belonging to groups. ”

Options/optgroups can have styling information in Fx. I’m not sure what even is.
eg.

optgroup option {
padding-left: 20px;
}

If JQuery can do it, so can anyone else. It doesn’t have any ’special capabilities’ over any other JS code.

It isn’t really. Just a novice programmer seeking much needed assistance. Forgive me if I was out of place.

Hi, I am currently working on an application that will be in different languages. One of these in German. when i run the app in en-US, I am able to get the AM or PM for the time using “hh:mm tt”, however when i switch the webconfig file to de-DE for the german information to be applied, I cannot get the AM or PM – I only get the time, eg, 3:04 instead of 3:04 PM.

How do I overcome this challenge?
