   I have created a widget with a select that lets the user choose a post.
   When the save button is pressed tho, all the <option> elements seem to disappear. The change is saved, but i have to reload the page to see it.

   Here's a video demonstrating the issue:

   And here's my plugin for you to download:
   The code for the <select> is located in mod6.php lines 111-124.

   Still looking for a solution on this one

   You're self-closing the select tag, here..
   

   <select class="widefat" id="'.$field_id.'" name="'.$field_name.'" />';

   Which is causing the select to close premature when it tries to re-render..

   It should read..
   

   <select class="widefat" id="'.$field_id.'" name="'.$field_name.'">';

   Tags that have a closing element(li,ul,select,option...etc..), shouldn't be self-closed, the only elements that need to be self-closed are hr, br and img.. (possibly might be one or two more, but they're the common ones)..
