setText method missing about jquery-editable-select HOT 4 OPEN

What is the use case here? I believe you can call select($li) to achieve the same function.

from jquery-editable-select.

Use case was, that I needed to set text, to value, that was not in the select list.

If I have following values in select:

<select id="editable">
  <option>Finland</option>
  <option>Sweden</option>
  <option>Norway</option>
</select>

And I need to set text to "Denmark":

$('#editable').editableSelect('setText', 'Denmark');

from jquery-editable-select.

Check this:

The select($li) does it already.

from jquery-editable-select.

Ok. Am I missing something here?

I altered setText function I am proposing from select method you are referring to.

The reason for altering select method was, because it returns if list does not already contain the item.

So there must be a way to setText in editable-select by using the select method. I just don't understand how it is done. So could you provide an example?

from jquery-editable-select.
