Proxy Comboboxes

[devnull]

I have some pages where there are several comboboxes containing exactly the same data, easyu creates a hidden panel for each of these identical combos.

Is it possible to clone or proxy a single combo so that the items panel is only created once ?

I am desperatly tring to reduce the page size and this would really help ?

Please try to download the patch from http://www.jeasyui.com/download/downloads/jquery-easyui-1.4.4-patch.zip, call 'cloneFrom' method to clone the combobox components.

Code:

<input id="cc" class="easyui-combobox" ...>
<input id="c1">
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(function(){
		$('#c1').combobox('cloneFrom', '#cc');
	})
</script>

Hi Jarry;

Any suggestions on how I can extend eui so that I can use this inline like this:

Code:

<input id="test1" class="easyui-combobox" data-options="data:[{value:1,text:'one'},{value:2,text:'two'}]">
<input id="test2" class="easyui-combobox" data-options="cloneFrom:'#test1'">
<input id="test3" class="easyui-combobox" data-options="cloneFrom:'#test1'">
<input id="test4" class="easyui-combobox" data-options="cloneFrom:'#test1'">

EDIT

Code:

	$.extend($.fn.combobox.methods, {
		cloneFrom: function(jq, from){
			return jq.each(function(){
				$(this).combo('cloneFrom', from);
				$.data(this, 'combobox', $(from).data('combobox'));
				$(this).addClass('combobox-f').attr('comboboxName', $(this).attr('textboxName'));
			});
		},

I just spotted a problem with cloneFrom() - if you select a value in a cloned combo, it selects a record in the source combo and not  itself ??

Thanks, but I am using 1.4.4 I cannot upgrade to 1.5 as it breaks a lot of my extensions and work-arounds.

I can't find the cloneFrom() function in that download, is it possble to let me have the updated cloneFrom extension ?

Many Thanks
