I'm using the following piece of code to select item but placeholder already is not visible. I am using this example select2-bootstrap
<div class="form-group" style="width:70px; height:44px;">
<select class="form-control select2" multiple="multiple" id="select2" placeholder="cawky parky">
<option>ahoj</option>
<option>more</option>
<option>ideme</option>
<option>na </option>
<option>pivo?</option>
</select>
</div>
<script src="//select2.github.io/select2/select2-3.4.2/select2.js"></script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#select2").select2({
multiple:true,
placeholder: "haha",
});
After hours of trying to figure this out I noticed that when the select is initially rendered the width of .select2-search__field is 0px. When I selected an option and then removed the option, the placeholder is shown and the width was about 1000px.
So to fix this I did the following:
$('.search-select-multiple').select2({
dropdownAutoWidth: true,
multiple: true,
width: '100%',
height: '30px',
placeholder: "Select",
allowClear: true
});
$('.select2-search__field').css('width', '100%');
