The jquery multiselect cannnot filter can be selected inside a dialog with a modal: true

Question

I use the following jquery libraries:

• jQuery v1.10.1
• jQuery UI v1.10.3
• jquery multiselect 1.13
• filter addon

When I use the multiselect filter for any selection, it only works for searching. When I use the multiselect filter inside the Dialog user interface with the modal:true property, I can no longer filter the list - the search placeholder cannot be selected.

Without the modal:true property, it works fine.

I tried to add the appendTo: 'form' property, but still have problems.

Edit: sample code http://jsfiddle.net/dQzxJ/3/

Any ideas? Thanks Eddie

This problem has not yet been resolved. Errors like this , I struggled with two months ago. And one day I asked myself: what about the chosen as an alternative? http://harvesthq.imtqy.com/chosen/

As I tried, I was pleased.

There is a script to solve a similar problem with CKEditor in a modal dialog, which can be found here

for Eric Hynds multi-element plugin, add the following code to the _allowInteraction function:

 if ($(event.target).closest(".ui-multiselect-menu").length) { return true; }
