Feature Request: Make select_options expect an array value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Make the select_options expect an array value instead of a comma-delimited
value set.

This should make jQuery/Javascript code look a bit cleaner.

Disregard this - I already have a fix for this one.  I'll submit a patch later.

Hey warpkat, I'd be very keen to see your solution to this, as longer dropdowns 
make
the code very dense, and I've tried a couple of ways of achieving the result 
but my
Javascript skills aren't too hot.

Thanks in advance!

I have changes in my copy of the editor at 
<http://haecker.me/trac/browser/open-source/jquery-edit-in-
place/trunk> that also incorporate this patch plus another one that allows you 
to specify individual option 
entries as another (optional) array so no string parsing is involved when 
decideding what the value and what the 
label is. Which now allows the lable to contain a ':'.

Hi Martin, could you possible let us have an example of how we can pass an 
array to
select_options? Just a short code snippet would be very useful.

Thanks in advance!

There are unit tests and it has an example in the documentation.

-- snip --
    select_options:     "", // string or array: Used if field_type is set to 'select'. Can be comma delimited 
list of options 'textandValue,text:value', Array of options ['textAndValue', 
'text:value'] or array of arrays 
['textAndValue', ['text', 'value']]. The last form is especially usefull if 
your labels or values contain colons)
-- snap --

Is there any information missing there?
