Hello,
Would like to ask if anyone can help me get an xeditable, select2 dropdown, remote data call working.
I also want the option to enter text not in the list.
XEDITABLE - Link with demos, but no detailed code or examples
http://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/demo-bs3.html
SELECT2 details - http://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/docs.html#select2
XEDITABLE docs say SOURCE needs to be array|string|function. Any ideas on a function to call ajax remote data?
***Updated - made a function as below. Need help to make it call this when select2 box is clicked.
