Your hidden input suggestion, however, is not a solution if your intent is to determine which button the user clicked.

By the way, when is Guardians of the Galaxy 2 coming out? [I can’t imagine how tired you must be of hearing that type of comment, so I apologize. ;-p ]

However, you are correct that the button inner text, and not the value is submitted in IE7. Yet, honestly, I think having a submit button actually contain a form value is kind of a bad design choice in the first place. If you want some implicit value passed on submit, then use a hidden input. That’s what they’re for.

So, use hidden inputs for implicit values and add type=”submit” to buttons that should submit the form and suddenly you’re 100% cross-browser with no JS hacks needed. Seems much more sane to me.

I have updated the code to include variable declarations and to remove the pass-by-reference ampersands from the function arguments, and that will resolve the “deprecated” warning in PHP 5.3 (which is an error in PHP 5.4).

Thanks!

Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated

Hopefully if anyone else is under similar circumstances your fix will come in handy.

I’ve been trying out your plugin and stumbled upon a problem.

My table contains text input fields with the jquery.ui autocomplete setup.

When I apply thfloat on the table, the autocomplete do not work any more.

If I comment out this line in init function it works :

data.clonetbl.children().remove();

It also works if i change this line above in the same init function from :

clonetbl : $(this).clone(true).attr({id:id}).addClass(‘thfloat-table’).css({zIndex:’1000′,display:’none’,position:’absolute’}).appendTo(‘body’),

to :

clonetbl : $(this).clone().attr({id:id}).addClass(‘thfloat-table’).css({zIndex:’1000′,display:’none’,position:’absolute’}).appendTo(‘body’),

I think I’ll try the second change and see how it goes. I guess it’s ok for me because I don’t have any data or event handlers on the table element itself, but other people could need the `clone(true)`.

just wanted to let you know of this limitation, thank you for sharing this plugin.

That makes sense but it’s interesting that I’ve never encountered that issue. I’ve updated the code to include your edit.

Thanks for reporting this!

$(f).trigger(‘submit’);
return false;

Can you provide a link to this quirky functionality in progress so I can investigate first-hand? Off the top of my head, I don’t have a guess as to the issue, nor have I heard anything like that reported before.

Thanks!

The reason I want this is, text with curly punctuation is difficult to search for, including when I use a feature like Firefox’s “type ahead find” that lets you find text on the current page. And I frequently do that on my own site.

Thank you!

Thank you.
