Question

I have a selector to which I apply the plugin selectmenu. Works fine however I want to use livequery to deal with hidden elements (if an element is hidden when selectmenu is applied it butchers it).

This works:

$('select:visible').filter('[multiple!=multiple]').selectmenu();

However I cannot seem to be able to use the same syntax for live query:

$('select:visible').filter('[multiple!=multiple]').livequery(function() {
    $(this).selectmenu();
});

This does not actually filter elements out that are multiple selects. I have had to do this:

$('select:visible').livequery(function() {
    if($(this).attr('multiple') != 'multiple')
        $(this).selectmenu();
});

Anyone have an idea why? I have tried variations such as:

$('select:visible:not([multiple=multiple])')...

and so on with same issue.

You need to use [multiple=true] instead of [multiple=multiple] and [multiple=false] instead of [multiple!=multiple].
