I ran into a similar issue on a publishing page where it returns the dropdown ID as "SPComplexToSimpleDropdown_undefined" in IE. Would it be possible to add a relationshipList or ListName argument to it?
Comments: Thank you for adding this as a work item. I've learned a lot about SPServices since my first post a little under a year ago and want to thank you for everything I've learned about jQuery, JSON and Ajax from your project and discussions and for making me a better developer. Just so you know what the situation is: I am setting up a Publishing Site for an intranet site for one of our clients. I am filtering multiple CQWP's on a publish page using the query string and a look-up from a new item form as a drop down (20+) to filter items and set the QS. In the post this was migrated from, the issue causing the ID name change/error this is related to is due to the form not being located in the same list folder so, it can't look up the correct information in the DOM. To try and get the parameter correct, according to the discussion, there would be a need to pass the information to it? I tried nesting the SPComplexToSimpleDropdown call inside SPFilterDropDown with a field all the items had in common so I could use it's ListName or Relationship list and the id of the control. However, the ID continued to change and the look up failed to respond correctly after I changed my selectors to match. (I would guess due to the optHid still not being able to to be called due to the malformed ID not pointing to the correct list information?) I have a temporary workaround in place to be able to get the site live by using InDesign="true" to trick the drop down, but it's not a good, manageable, long-term solution.
