Select box is extremely slow in iOS safari #671

Closed 007pig closed 13 years ago

I created a select with days (1-31) and I found that it's extremely slow to load and perform actions.

Select boxes are also very slow on Android

We've been cleaning up the select code, is this any faster: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/forms/forms-selects.html

We're considering adding a data option to use the custom styled button for feedback but simply trigger a click on the native select so it's used for the menu. Would that be a good option?

it's not any faster (referring to that url)

In answer to Todd's question about native selects with a custom appearance, I think that would be a great option to have. Most of the mobile browsers I've used to date have a relatively intuitive built-in approach to select menus which will be familiar to users (and, importantly, fast).

Done. John Bender just landed a fix to let people opt-out of the custom select menu and just use the native menu, while preserving the styled select button. Just add data-native="true" to your select. This is much faster but there are a few limitations.

Demo and docs here: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/forms/forms-selects.html

It has problems on firefox4.

Works great on safari / iPhone
