[ABANDON] Calling jQuery Plugin Add Method

[Krokonoster]

I'm having a problem calling a jQuery plugin to add elements.

Please check the "add" method of this plugin: http://revaxarts-themes.com/whitelab...ml#multiselect

In my code I have a jQuery Ajax call which will bring back a json result (collection of "employee" objects)
The data comes back fine, and I can add employees to my list as follows:

// Load all employees in selected team
$("select#TeamId").change(function () {
    allAgentsList.empty();
    var teamId = $("select#TeamId > option:selected").attr("value");
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: urlGetTeamEmployees,
        data: { teamId: teamId },
        success: function (returndata) {
            if (returndata.data.length > 0) {
                $.each(returndata.data, function (index, itemData) {
                    var id = itemData.Id;
                    var name = itemData.FirstName + ' ' + itemData.LastName;
                    $('#SelectedAgents').wl_Multiselect('add', name );
                });
            }
        }
    });
});

However, I want to add the items with it's Id and Name (above just use name) and I used many variations of the add method (as per that link) without luck, such as:
$('#SelectedAgents').wl_Multiselect('add', { id : name } ); etc (the documentation strangely are quite how to add a single item at a time, passing both value and text.

Any idea?

By the documentation, $('#SelectedAgents').wl_Multiselect('add', { id : name }) looks like the right way to do it. What happens when you try that? Nothing? Errors?

[Krokonoster]

Little hard to describe, but let me try this way:
The output (correct) for $('#SelectedAgents').wl_Multiselect('add', name); is:

<li data-value="krokonoster">
  <a>krokonoster</a>
  <a class="remove"></a>
</li>

Needless to say, the "data-value" should be the id I have, but doing the way you suggest gives you:

<li data-value="id">
  <a>krokonoster</a>
  <a class="remove"></a>
</li>

(in the last case, the id was definitely set.)

Weird..
$('#SelectedAgents').wl_Multiselect('add', { 123: name })
Works fine (each item's data-value is 123.
But replace 123 with id (which always is a number)....the data-value is "id"

Abandon this one. Tried to be cute, but rather going to change to a normal list of items with checkboxes. (even i get it right, posting the MVC way is impossible)

Firstly - let me just say what a painfully difficult forum to register for.
I'm only posting here because I lost hours trying to solve this problem.. And this site ranks in the top search results for "wl_Multiselect('add'"

If you are using wl_Multiselect and want to have id's matched to the items in the select box - they can not be added as all the documentation indicates. The below works fine:

Where data is an array containing id, name and selected. The selectbox in question is id="selDepartments"

        	$.each(data, function (index, record) {
        		var id = record.id;
        		var name = record.name;
        		var newOption = {};
        		newOption[id] = name;
				$('#selDepartments').wl_Multiselect('add', newOption);
				if(record.selected != 0) {$('#selDepartments').wl_Multiselect('select', id)};
        	});
