Plugin to override the necessity to click 'done' after choosing an option via a select element in iOS7 via iPhone or iPad

iOS7 Select Element Auto-Close

The purpose of this plugin is to override the necessity to click 'close' or 'done" after choosing an option via iOS7's default select element functionality on iPhone and iPad (see screenshot below). The option is provided to either sniff out the OS (via getOS()) or, if such functionality isn't your cup of tea, override the default by setting a max width.

In order to override the native functionality, the option elements must be wrapped in an optgroup. In case you're populating select elements dynamically (and, in turn, removing the optgroup wrappers added by init()), the class 'iOS_select' is added to all select elements so you've got a selector to target for manually reapplying optgroups

ios7-select-element-auto-close's Issues

Script not working in iOS

I've tried this script in thte iOS 6/7 simulator in my application and it does not seem to do anything.

In my JavaScript:
function wlCommonInit(){
$("#mySelect").bind('change', changeValue);
}

function changeValue() {
$("#selectedOption").val($("#mySelect option:selected").text());
}

I should expect, then, that once changeValue is run, the select will also be dismissed via this plug-in?
