Filter drop down disappears + IE 8/9

[dilwit]

I tried the url http://documentcloud.github.io/visualsearch/ on IE 8/9 and selected 'country' from the filter, when I click on scroll bar and trying to drag of the listed countries it disappears.

This is still an issue - its a bit of a hack, however I coded a temporary work-around to enable my projects current code to be usable... as this was a complete blocker for us, as the client uses IE.

So... in the two places that the Autocomplete is instantiated I added the following code.

1) To the 'open' event:

this.box.autocomplete('widget').on({
    mouseover: function () {
        $(box).data('uiwidgetfocused', true);
    },
    mouseout: function () {
        $(box).data('uiwidgetfocused', false);
    }
});

2) Immediately after / oustside the code block above where the Autocompleted is instantiated:

var $box = this.box;
var originalClose = $(this.box).data("ui-autocomplete").close;
$(this.box).data("ui-autocomplete").close = function (event) {
    var uiwidgetfocused = $($box).data('uiwidgetfocused');
    if ((uiwidgetfocused === undefined) || !uiwidgetfocused) {
        originalClose.apply(this, arguments);
    }
};

Like I say.. its not beautiful, however it seems to work well and got me out of a pinch.

Cheers...

I got it working by commenting a line. I still need to do some testing to ensure that it does not break something else. LINE //this.box.bind('blur', this.deferDisableEdit);

// Rendering the input sets up autocomplete, events on focusing and blurring // the input, and the auto-grow of the input. render : function() { $(this.el).html(JST['search_input']({ readOnly: this.app.options.readOnly }));

this.setMode('not', 'editing');
this.setMode('not', 'selected');
this.box = this.$('input');
this.box.autoGrowInput();
this.box.bind('updated.autogrow', this.moveAutocomplete);
//this.box.bind('blur',  this.deferDisableEdit);
this.box.bind('focus', this.addFocus);
this.setupAutocomplete();

return this;
