jQuery Selectric Selectric

Basic usage

$('select').selectric();

Get selected option value

Current value:

// Cache the target element
var $selectValue = $('#select_value').find('strong');

// Get initial value
$selectValue.text($('#get_value').val());

// Initialize Selectric and bind to 'change' event
$('#get_value').selectric().on('change', function() {
  $selectValue.text($(this).val());
});

Set value

$('#set_value').selectric();

$('#set_first_option').on('click', function() {
  $('#set_value').prop('selectedIndex', 0).selectric('refresh');
});

$('#set_second_option').on('click', function() {
  $('#set_value').prop('selectedIndex', 1).selectric('refresh');
});

$('#set_third_option').on('click', function() {
  $('#set_value').prop('selectedIndex', 2).selectric('refresh');
});

Change options on the fly

$('#dynamic').selectric();

$('#bt_add_val').click(function() {
  // Store the value in a variable
  var value = $('#add_val').val();

  // Append to original select
  $('#dynamic').append('<option>' + (value ? value : 'Empty') + '</option>');

  // Refresh Selectric
  $('#dynamic').selectric('refresh');
});

Callbacks

// With events
$('#callbacks')
  .on('selectric-before-open', function() {
    alert('Before open');
  })
  .on('selectric-before-close', function() {
    alert('Before close');
  })
  // You can bind to change event on original element
  .on('change', function() {
    alert('Change');
  });

// Or, with plugin options
$('#callbacks').selectric({
  onOpen: function() {
    alert('Open');
  },
  onChange: function() {
    alert('Change');
  },
  onClose: function() {
    alert('Close');
  }
});
