I am working on a project at the moment that requires some seriously skinned up select menus, I have managed to re-skin them but using this plugin however I have no way of determining what item has been selected from what select box as the plugin builds the same HTML every time it meets a select element in my HTML. I need some way of adding a unique identifier onto the end of a class, by manipulating the below plugin.
$.fn.customSelect = function() {
// define defaults and override with options, if available
// by extending the default settings, we don't modify the argument
return this.each(function() {
obj = $(this);
obj.after("<div class=\"selectoptions\"> </div>");
obj.find('option').each(function(){
$(".selectoptions").append("<div id=\"" + $(this).attr("value") + "\" class=\"selectitems\"><span>" + $(this).html() + "</span></div>");
});
obj.before("<input type=\"hidden\" value =\"\" name=\"" + this.name + "\" class=\"customselect\"/><div class=\"iconselect\">" + this.title + "</div><div class=\"iconselectholder\"> </div>")
.remove();
$('.iconselectholder').hide();
$(".iconselect").click(function(){
$(".iconselectholder").toggle("slow");});
$(".iconselectholder").append( $(".selectoptions")[0] );
$(".selectitems").mouseover(function(){
$(this).addClass("hoverclass");
});
$(".selectitems").mouseout(function(){
$(this).removeClass("hoverclass");
});
$(".selectitems").click(function(){
$(".selectedclass").removeClass("selectedclass");
$(this).addClass("selectedclass");
var thisselection = $(this).html();
$(".customselect").val(this.id);
$(".iconselect").html(thisselection);
$(".iconselectholder").toggle("slow")
});
});
// do the rest of the plugin, using url and settings
}
