I am working on an app that uses Select2 (version 3.5.1). The HTML to setup this drop down / autocomplete field looks like this:
<input id=mySelect class=form-control type=hidden>
The form-control class in this snippet comes from Bootstrap. I am initializing this field from JavaScript using the following:
function getItemFormat(item) {
var format = '<div>' + item.ItemName + '</div>';
return format;
}
$(function() {
$('#mySelect').select2({
minimumInputLength: 5,
placeholder: 'Search for an item',
allowClear: true,
ajax: {
url: '/api/getItems',
dataType: 'json',
quietMillis: 250,
data: function (term, page) {
return {
query: term
};
},
results: function (data, page) {
return { results: data, id: 'ItemId', text: 'ItemText' };
}
},
formatResult: getItemFormat,
dropdownCssClass: bigdrop,
escapeMarkup: function (m) { return m; }
});
});
When my select field loads, it successfully renders. Once I type at least the fifth character, it successfully pulls items from the server and lists them as options. However, if I try to select one of them, nothing happens. The drop-down popup stays open. Nothing gets put in the actual field. There are no errors in the JavaScript console. Its like I didn't click anything.
In addition, I noticed that nothing is highlighted when I put my mouse over an item or attempt to navigate the list of options with the arrow keys.
What am I doing wrong?
