I have a selectMenu that I initialized and later I want to populate it with some data:
$.each(data, function (Key, Value) {
$('#ddlReportFarms').append($("<option></option>")
.attr("value", Value.ID)
.text(Value.Name));
});
$('#ddlReportFarms').selectmenu('refresh', true);
this doesn't work for some reason, the new items are not display.
if I do this instead of the refresh:
$('#ddlReportFarms').selectmenu();
the items are displayed, but when this happens again,
the selectMenu duplicates itself (appears twice) and becomes buggy..
anyone?
thanks

I believe you have to do it like this:
[... your other code...]
$('#ddlReportFarms').selectmenu({'refresh': true});
Thanks MilkyWayJoe
when I write it like you suggested, the selectMenu duplicates itself,
just creates another selectmenu as many times as I run the refresh.. frustrating.
this is the HTML after the refresh:
<a id="ddlReportFarms-button" class="ui-selectmenu ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-selectmenu-dropdown" aria-owns="ddlReportFarms-menu" aria-haspopup="true" href="#" role="button" style="width: 198px;">
<span class="ui-selectmenu-status">Select Farm</span>
<span class="ui-selectmenu-icon ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span>
</a>
<a id="ddlReportFarms-button" class="ui-selectmenu ui-widget ui-state-default ui-selectmenu-dropdown ui-corner-all" aria-owns="ddlReportFarms-menu" aria-haspopup="true" href="#" role="button" style="width: 198px;">
<span class="ui-selectmenu-status">Select Farm</span>
<span class="ui-selectmenu-icon ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span>
</a>
Which version of selectmenu do you use?
My fork has no method refresh but your proposal is correct (aka uing selectmenu() on a already initialized selectmenu to refresh it). Please see the wiki for more information: https://github.com/fnagel/jquery-ui/wiki/Selectmenu
