jquery select() problem in IE(8)

Question

jquery's select() is not working in IE, but its working fine in Firefox and Chrome.

What may be the problem with select() in IE, particulary IE8?

Answer 1

IDEA 1

Try adding a click trigger to your checkbox:

$(selector_to_checkbox).click(function(){ $(this).change() });

It is possible IE isn't properly triggering the change event.

IDEA 2

Try explicitly blurring the checkbox before calling .select

$(selector_to_checkbox).change(function(){
    $(this).blur();
    $(selector_to_textbox).select():
});
