Values produced from user-specified strings should be trimmed about select2 HOT 8 CLOSED

what do you mean by "reload"?

from select2.

Well, if I hit refresh, I mean reload the whole page which contains the form, in my case, if I access that a page with a form editing a record in the database, and that keyword_list value is "Red,Blue", it will do the same.

from select2.

that seems rather peculiar because it does not happen here:

http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2/

under the tagging example. no matter how many times i reload the page Blue and Brown are always selected....

are there any javascript errors in the console?

from select2.

Nope, there is none, I tried also to see if there is something wrong with postprocessResults(), but I can't get windows.console.log to work in your code, anyway, I think it's this function that is causing this, till yesterday, all what I found was, it does add select2-disabled for the first choice, but it stop there, the others never get it.

I can help more if you tell me what is the trick with console.log, I don't want to throw all the work on your direction, you are already doing AMAZING job with select2. and I can't wait for your next project :)

run the app in chrome, it has a native js console you can open. you can write to it by simply saying console.log('foo')

also make sure your hidden element's value really says Red,Blue

from select2.

Well, I do that, I mean, I'm using chrome, and I do use console.log debugging my JS, it's only when I add console.log to your code it doesn't work, strange for me, I tried also window.console.log, I will try to use chrome debugger to see what is going on here. and I will update you with I'll get. Thanks Igor for following up.

Latest thing I reached is that while initialization in postprocessResults this line:

choices = this.results.find(".select2-result")

return empty array, although the value of the field is set and return the comma separated tags

from select2.

Man! after so many hours going and coming back to the problem I found out why it behaves that way!!!

if I have the field's value

"red,blue,green"

there is then no problem, but my code (rails + act_as_taggable_on) returns

"red, blue, green"

so basically we need to trim leading and trailing spaces when we split the value, following your code, in AbstractSelect2#prepareOpts, the line

data.push({id: this, text: this});

should be

var text = $.trim(this);
data.push({id: text, text: text});
