mcdropdown

This plugin is an update of mcdropdown jQuery plug-in v 1.3.2 (http://www.givainc.com/labs/mcdropdown_jquery_plugin.htm)

mcdropdown features:

Creates a multi-column hierarchical select UI component
Binds a text input field or div element to a list element (included nested lists)
Menus are automatically split into columns as needed
Menus are positioned to always stay on the screen
Autocomplete keyboard entry (only valid options are allowed)
Menu automatically scrolls into viewport when opened

mcdropdown works with jQuery version upto 1.6.2 only. I made some changes to work with jquery 1.9.

Changes:

• Replaced removed functions like curCSS(),andSelf()
• Fixed bug for google chrome

mcdropdown's Issues

Menu items are removed when selected quickly

The hoverOver callback can be called even after the menu has been closed. This
can be seen easily if the timeout is long enough. If you set a longish timeout and quickly select a menuitem so the menu closes and then wait for the callback to eventually fire the menuitem is removed.

This is because showBranch is called which calls position() but self.clientWidth and self.clientHeight are 0

I solved this by placing the following check in the top of showBranch

if (self.clientWidth == 0 || self.clientHeight == 0) {
return false;
}

Problem with $.browser

This update is supposed to be compatible with jQuery 1.9 but it is not because the $.browser function has been removed from 1.9. I had to remove all references to that in order for it to work.

test

this is hello<script>alert('test');</script>
