Bootstrap Multiselect Button Width Issue

Question

I have used Multiselect of Bootstrap.

My issue is when I select item from options. If name is too long then button width is also increased.

How do I handle Button width after selecting options.

Answer 1

Try using below code.

You can set max-width as you want in css.

Javascript:

 $('#yourXYZID').multiselect({
    buttonText: function(options) 
    {
        var retStr = "";
        if (options.length === 0) {
           retStr = "None selected";
        } else if(options.length <=3){
           var textArray = [];
           $.each(options,function(key,value){
               textArray.push($.trim($(value).html()));
           });
           retStr = "<div class='pull-left restricted'>"+textArray.join(",")+"</div>";
        } else {
           retStr = options.length+" selected";
        }
        return retStr+" <b class='caret'></b>";
    }
 });

CSS:

.multiselect.dropdown-toggle.btn.btn-default > div.restricted {
    margin-right: 5px;
    max-width: 100px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
