Blocking multiple elements with jQuery selector as message doesn't work #20

Closed bryanbak closed 13 years ago

When I try to block multiple elements and use a jQuery selector as the message, the message only shows up in the last element to be blocked. After making a call to unblock the original message is not inserted back into the dom.

Here is an example on how to reproduce:

<div class="foo"></div>
<div class="foo"></div>
<div id="ajaxMessage"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$('.foo').block({ message: $('#ajaxMessage') });
$('.foo').unblock();
</script>

After the block call only the second div has the message showing up. Once the unblock call is made the #ajaxMessage div is no longer on the page.

That's not supported. This plugin makes no attempt at cloning the message.

That's good to know. I'll just set a static message then. You might mention in the documentation that if you use a jQuery selector as the message that you can only block 1 element at a time. Thanks for the quick response.
