Hi,

Which version of jQWidgets do you use? It is possible the property to be not available in your version if you do not use the latest one.

I have experienced the same thing in 2.8.3.
Simply setting another “placeHolder” value doesn’t refresh/redraw the DropDownList.

$(“#jqxWidget”).jqxDropDownList({placeHolder: “Select:”}); // would be doing nothing

In my case however, I found a workaround. By specifying the “source” to the DropDownList again, the entire thing is refreshed, so the new placeHolder is considered and displayed:

var source = new $.jqx.dataAdapter({ … });

// when generating the control:

$(“#jqxWidget”).jqxDropDownList({
source: source,
width: 300,
// … etc, other parameters
};

// when changing the placeHolder

$(“#jqxWidget”).jqxDropDownList({
placeHolder: “New placeholder”,
source: source
});

—
This works !
Good luck

p.s. – It’s really a bug, we shouldn’t need to force other values in order to change the placeholder…
