[b](UPDATE: Found fix! See last post)[/b]

Hi,

I'm unable to get select dropdowns (jQuery UI Chosen plugin) to work with IE8 (NOT in compatibility mode).
To make sure it wasn't because of anything I did, I installed a fresh CI and the newest GroceryCrud v.1.2.3.
Interestingly enough, the example at http://www.grocerycr..._management/add works with IE8!
So I guess that it used to work but not anymore.
Any suggestions?

Ok, an update. I found out that IE8 uses IE7 compatible mode for all intranet websites regardless of what mode the site says IE should use. (using the meta X-UA-Compatible tag)
Apparently the only workaround is to go to Tools -> Compatibility View Settings and disable the option to use compatibility mode for intranet websites.

More info:
IE 8 Compatibility - Meta Tags, Http Headers, User Agent Strings etc etc

Another update!
Found the code for fixing the issue. It hasn't been included in the official version yet, but you can easily modify the file yourself.
https://github.com/h...hosen/pull/751/
First edit assets\grocery_crud\js\jquery_plugins\jquery.chosen.js and change this line: (line 284 in the version I have)

if ($.browser.msie && ($.browser.version === "6.0" || $.browser.version === "7.0")) {

To:

if ($.browser.msie && ($.browser.version === "6.0" || ($.browser.version === "7.0" && document.documentMode === 7))) {

Next, because GC uses the minified (compressed) version of the js, go to for example
http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/uglifyjs/ and encode the file, rename it to jquery.chosen.min.js and overwrite the old one.
