tail.select Files

Version 0.3.0 - Alpha

• Info: The complete script has been re-written from scratch and doesn't depend on jQuery anymore!
• Info: The default design uses vectors from GitHubs Octicons.
• Info: The minified version is compressed with jsCompress.
• Add: A search function / field within the dropdown area, which is partly still in a test phase.
• Add: A complete new interface and a complete new design (including a new demonstration).
• Add: The tail helper methods: hasClass(), addClass(), removeClass(), trigger() and animate().
• Add: The tailSelect prototype class handles all tail.select elements and the communication between the user and the elements as well as between the tailOptions class.
• Add: The tailOptions prototyping class, which manages the original options and items. This new class is only responsible for the main item object collections as well as the original select field. The tail.select elements are handled by the main tailSelect class only!
• Add: A search, searchFocus and searchMarked option to configure the new search feature.
• Add: The new bindSourceSelect option, which allows to still use the source select field.
• Add: The new hideSelect option to hide the source select field.
• Add: The new stayOpen and startOpen option to manipulate the dropdown field.
• Add: The new items option to add some additional options during the initialization, the new structure allows you to add and remove options also during the runtime. Use therefore the methods of the tailOptions prototype class.
• Add: The new sortItems and sortGroups options, to sort the order of the options and the option groups in the dropdown field.
• Add: The new animate and openAbove methods to control the dropdown behavior.
• Add: The new strings searchField, searchEmpty, andselectLimit has been added.
• Add: A german locale file.
• Update: The events has been changed into 'tail.select::open', 'tail.select::close', and 'tail.select::{state}'
• Update: The complete HTML / ClassNames and CSS structure has been changed!
• Update: The copy_class option has been renamed into classNames and allows now also a string as well as an array parameter. (You can still use true to copy the class names from the source select field.)
• Update: The single_deselect option has been renamed into deselect, the behavior is the same.
• Update: The multi_limit option has been renamed into multiLimit and requires now -1 as parameter to enable the "unlimited" selection option (-1 is the default option!).
• Update: The multi_show_count option has been renamed into multiShowCount, the behavior is the same.
• Update: The multi_move_to option has been renamed into multiContainer and does now ONLY offer the possibility to "move" the selected options (in the form of handles) into the (with an plain selector linked) container. The possibility to "move" selected options to the top of the dropdown list has been removed!
• Update: The multi_hide_selected option has been renamed into hideSelected and doesn't require a multiple select field anymore, the rest of the behavior is the same!
• Update: The description option has been renamed into descriptions, the behavior is the same.
• Update: The hide_disabled option has been renamed into hideDisabled, the behavior is almost the same, except that hideDisabled and hideSelected just add a new CSS class name to the main tail.select element.
• Update: The width option keeps his name, but allows now 'auto' (to calculate the width from the source select element) and null, to set no width at all (default).
• Update: The height option keeps his name, but allows now also null to set no maxHeight at all (which is also the default, it's may better to handle this with pure CSS).
• Update: The string options text_empty, text_limit and text_placeholder has been moved to and own core object, which is accessible through the tail.select.strings variable.
• Remove: The jQuery support has been completely removed.
• Remove: The jQuery mousewheel plugin has been removed.
• Remove: The option and functionality behind hide_on_mobile and hide_on_supported has been completely removed. There will be probably no substitute for this!
• Remove: The feather icons has been replaced with the GitHub Octicons.
