[jQuery] Re: Multiple-select-box: set multiple to false

[Thomas Jaggi]

Try:
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")[0].multiple = false;

You need to actually reference the actual DOM object, not the jQuery array
of objects that gets returned.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I just wanted to reply that wouldn't work either but there was another problem:
When I'm hiding some elements of the form BEFORE I set multiple to
false, it doesn't work:
 $("#field2").hide();
 $("#field3").hide();
 $("#field6").hide();
 $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")[0].multiple = false;

Like this it works:
 $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")[0].multiple = false;
 $("#field2").hide();
 $("#field3").hide();
 $("#field6").hide();

Why that?
