"placeHolder" in combobox

[mallepaddiParticipant]

Hi

$(“#comboBoxBrand”).jqxComboBox({
placeHolder: ‘– Please Select –‘,
disabled : false,
displayMember: “name” ,
valueMember: “code”,
source: subAdapter,
width: ‘200px’,
height: ’20px’,
theme:theme,
searchMode: ‘contains’,
autoComplete: true
});

$(“#comboBoxBrand”).jqxComboBox(‘focus’);

it works in different way between FF and IE

in FF .. focused into “combobox” but “– Please Select” place holder appears, when the user starts giving input then it disappears.

in IE – focused into “combobox” but “– Please Select” disappears, box appears empty to enter input.

Thanks

Hi mallepaddi,

The jqxComboBox’s placeHolder property only syncs the “placeholder” attribute of the HTML Element with the property’s value. The browser handles that automatically and as browsers are different they could handle the “placeholder” attribute in a different way. In addition, there’s much difference between IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 and IE11. Some of these do have support for the HTML5 “placeholder” attribute, but old browsers like IE7, IE8 and IE9 as far as I know do not.

Best Regards,
