My Chosen plugin select menu is present but it still says Select Some Option

  • 0

My Chosen plugin select menu is present but it still says “Select Some Option” when I want it to prompt to say “Select at least one category or create it”.

<%= f.select :category_ids, Category.all.collect {|c| [c.name, c.id]}, {:prompt => "Select at least one category...."}, { :multiple => true, :class => "category-select" } %>

The prompt is in the list and not when it being directly viewed like a placeholder. How can I get it this way?

UPDATE

When I use prompt it actually places it in the drop down and can be selected as a category so that’s wrong right there.

    It appears for rails you have to change the 2 lines getAttribute("data-placeholder")? to placeholder instead so, simply change the two lines:

    return this.form_field.getAttribute("placeholder")?this.default_text=this.form_field.getAttribute("placeholder"):this.is_multiple?this.default_text=this.options.placeholder_text_multiple||this.options.placeholder_text||"Select Some Options":this.default_text=this.options.placeholder_text_single||this.options.placeholder_text||"Select an Option",this.results_none_found=this.form_field.getAttribute("data-no_results_text")||this.options.no_results_text||"No results match"
