jQuery remove shouldn't interfere with selectBoxes about jquery-selectbox

[clutchDM]

I'm getting the same error in a similar situation. I have a SelectBox on the page, and then I open a lightbox with inline html and I call SelectBox only on content within the lightbox. When I close the lightbox the SelectBox on the page no longer works.

I've tried your suggestion but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you mean to unbind any events I have that call SelectBox or Completely Destroy them?

EDIT: I fixed my issue by being more specific with my selectors. When I was closing the lightbox, i was trying to clear all selectboxes and then create them again. After being more specific with all my selectors i just 'destroy'ed only the ones in the lightbox and all good now.

Same, if you destroy just the ones you remove, it works. ew.

comment out "if( select.data('selectBox-control') ) return false;" in init method helps and have no drastic side effects for usage at my projects. But have not looked, where this could make problems.

Same problem,
confirming $('select').selectBox('destroy'); helps as workaround.

This is because the settings are stored in the original SELECT element, so when you say $('SELECT').remove() you remove the native control without removing the UI control.

This is a tradeoff for using UI controls. jQuery UI's button control is a similar example: you need to use .button('disable') instead of .prop('disabled', true).

JavaScript can only be so powerful :P

Great plugin!
debugging the code, I found that adding a simple null check solves the problem.
if ( typeof(settings) == "undefined") { return; } should be used twice. in "hideMenus" and "showMenus".
