After upgrading to jQuery Mobile 1.1.1 earlier today (7/13/2012), I noticed that all my Custom Select menus no longer display placeholder text when the page loads. Is there something I need to do differently in 1.1.1 to show placeholder text in custom selection menus? Help!?!?
Here is an example of my code:
<div data-role="fieldcontain" class="ui-hide-label no-field-separator"> <label for="ceiling" class="select" data-theme="a">Ceiling</label> <select name="ceiling" id="ceiling" data-theme="a" data-native-menu="false" class="required"> <option data-placeholder="true">Ceiling (Yes/No)</option> <option value="Yes">Ceiling: Yes</option> <option value="No">Ceiling: No</option> </select> </div>
