combobox setValue also sets text [Solved]

[devnull]

Hi;

When I use the setValue() on a combobox() it also sets the text.

How can I ONLY set the value without changing the text ?

Thanks

You can retrieve the combobox's text first and then restore its text after calling 'setValue' method.

Code:

var cc = $('#cc');
var text = cc.combobox('getText');
cc.combobox('setValue', yourvalue');
cc.combobox('setText', text');  // restore the original text

Another way to set the value only is to call 'setValue' method of combo instead.

Code:

var cc = $('#cc');  // the combobox object
cc.combo('setValue', yourvalue);

Thanks, but why does setting the value also set the text, shouldn't it only set the value ?
