option to use 'title' of selected items when 'data-content' is used

[seanbotha123]

Hi thanks for the great plugin.

My issue:
I am using the 'data-content' to display html, which includes images, in my dropdown which should be able to handle multiple selection. this all works really well. but when I select options they display the whole html content; It looks to me like the data-content overrides the title? i would just want to display the title instead of the data-content html. Any way to do this?

code:

this currently displays the image, but this image is too large and does not even fit inside the input. So basically just want to display the title like: Option1, Option 3.

Oh I also can't seem to get the values of items selected. only returns the first item. I am using:
var value = document.getElementById('ddl').value; . Not sure if I am missing something?

Thanks!

Could you link us a jsfiddle or a demo of the issue? It would help us comprehend and fix the problem.

To get the value of the selectpicker, use the val method:

var value = $('.selectpicker').selectpicker('val');

I have the same problem.
What is established in the "data-content" will be the contents to be displayed on the button.

A jsfiddle isn't actually needed to show this issue. Right on the demo page for the data-content attribute, you can see the HTML displayed when you hover over the selector.
