Value submitted is 'value' of text-input, not data-val

[mattholtom]

When I submit a form containing your plugin example, the value sent to the server is 'Russia', not 'RU'.

Is this intended behaviour or am I misusing the plugin? Do I need to modify the form-submit using javascript or is normal HTTP form submission possible with this plugin.

My use case is Month selection

{January}
{February} etc.

But the value I want submitted to the server is 1, or 2

Thanks for your work,

Hello, Mattholtom
Thank you for your question.
As you can see in markup in Readme file getmdl-select is a simple <input/> which works in conjunction with .mdl-menu. So with submitting form to server sends only input.value, not data-val. It is intended behaviour.

So for your task you need to read data-val attr and modify the form-submit using javascript

Good luck
