Today we released a new version of the Select Decorator plugin. The first release of the plugin didnt support Internet Explorer as the IE's transparencies for Select items are not working. In this new release we used a new approach to make it look the same on every browser. To be more techinical the plugin creates a list and populates the list items with the  options in the respective select item.

We are really exited because the previous version of the plugin has been downloaded nearly a hundred times, which means that it is used a lot on different websites. You will find that the new release is even more usable as it is working very well with the widely used browser IE as well as other browsers such as firefox, opera, safari, etc.

Some news about the open source website, as the site is having a reasonable number of hits and the software modules are downloaded at good rates we are planning to add a Forum for the website. This will open a means of communication between you and the developers at whynotonline.com. We wish to talk more about SilverStripe and jQuery there. Stay tuned, we will update you on developments of the new forum on this blog.
