When I close and reopen a simplemodal the selectmenu no longer works.

Anyone had any experiences with this or know how to fix it?

    There is no need to modify either plugin. You just need to move the binding to the onShow callback. The following should do the trick:

        <script type="text/javascript">
    function OpenModal(selector, h, w, reposition) {
        $(selector).modal({
            onShow: function (dialog) {
                $('select', dialog.data[0]).selectmenu();
            },
            onClose: function (dialog) {
                $.modal.close();
                $('#link').html("Click me again");
                $('#modal label').html("This dropdown doesn't work");                    
            }
        });
    }
</script>

    The option persist: true might also be required. If that does not work, let me know.
