What happened to the downward arrow? #143

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

This is a usability question - the previous version of this had a downward 
arrow to indicate it was a drop. Now this is gone, and when we do some 
usability testing with some users we find people don't know what do with this 
component - they don't understand they can click on it.

How can we get back the dropdown arrow?

thanks

Please do NOT close this issue.  It's a huge issue, in my opinion.  I know that 
it's just the CSS styling, but the default style or a default style packaged 
with the download should definitely include this.  This is a huge loss for this 
control - I know it's just a little graphical image, but it makes a huge 
difference with regards to how the control is seen.  I personally find the lack 
of the downward arrow in v1.1 extremely distasteful - it looks more like a 
playtoy than a control.

Update - Apparently passing the option { icon: {} } enables the jQuery UI arrow 
icons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . my question is still "why is the default to 
have no icon at all"?

A design choice was made to make the default display as simple as possible with 
minimal options.  As you have already noted, it is very easy to activate the 
arrow display.

Actually even with the icon: {} "fix" I don't get arrows. Using latest 1.4 
version.

The Demo and Test pages both include samples of the icon display that is 
working for me.
Can you post a simple example where the icon is not displaying?

(and did you remember to include both a base jquery ui themeroller css 
definition, as well as ui.dropdownchecklist.themeroller.css)
