I'm using jQuery's selectMenu on a select tag like this.
$('#ddlReport').selectmenu()
in certain cases I want to hide it, and I can't figure out how.
this doesn't work:
$('#ddlReport').selectmenu().hide();
neither does this
$('#ddlReport').hide();
anyone?
Looking at the demos here and here, it seems selectmenu works by appending a
<span class="ui-selectmenu-button">
or (probably different selectmenu versions?)
<a ... class="ui-selectmenu ...">
after the original select, containing the artificial select.
You could try accessing that using
$('#ddlReport').next('.ui-selectmenu .ui-selectmenu-button').hide();
Though it sounds like it may use other classes (instead of -button). This is also a kind of hackish workaround and I'm sure the plugin contains some way intended to let you access the newly appended menu.
Edit: Looking through the code in the second demo, it doesn't seem like there is any preprogrammed way to access the new select in that version at least.
