Add Tooltips For Each Option Items In A Single Select Drop Down Menu?
Feb 4, 2011
I have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user.
The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I am not able to use title attribute for displaying tooltips in my browser.
Now the code ...
implements a tooltip for multiple select drop down menu.Can you modify the code for single select
I'm using a bit of Javascript to display content based on the dropdown selection:http://jsfiddle.net/mcgarriers/wjLXk/However, I would like it when the user selects "show two" that it shows the 2 div elements rather than specifically div2.And for "show three" it would show all 3 divs.
The purpose of the code is to slideToggle open one of two hidden sub-nav bars when either of two different menu items are clicked upon - instead of a drop down menu. What doesn't work is the hiding of the div that is not required, if it is already open. Viewing in firebug shows that the appropriate classes are being applied - I suspect the reason is that slideToggle has been somehow set and cannot be unset via another object - but perhaps that is not it at all?
$(document).ready(function() { //add .toggle function to appropriate li element $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4)').toggle(function () { //set 4th menu links colour to be green whilst div is shown $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4) a').css('color', '#95d890'); $('#toggle_nav_services').removeClass('toggle_show'); [Code]....
Is there a way to count the number of items in a option list?
I have an alphabetical list and when you select a letter a select option list will populate with links. I would like to display to the user how many links are in the box.
We have a list of items that each has a different quantity available. So I am going to create a multiple select menu, where they can select several different items. So, how can I make it that when they leave the field it sends all the different ones to the ajax program to build all the appropriate quantity forms?
I've got some directory list boxes on the site I'm working on. I made them big and fixed rather than drop-down so they're easier to use in this context. But I had to enable the "multiple" attribute to make that work. The site has no provision for multiple selections so it's a tad annoying when the search function selects more than one name in the list.It doesn't really affect the site's operation but it could be confusing to some people. Is there a way to make the listbox show multiple selections without allowing multiple selections? Thanks for any help.
I am looking to put a drop down menu in my for i have the drop down set up but i am not sure how to do the make hidden text field pop up when "Other" is selected. I am guessing you use javascript to make this happen
HTML Code: <td><select name="actionrequest" onchange="Select(this,'budget',1);"> <option value="Calibration">Calibration</option> <option value="calibration and repair">Calibration and Repair</option> <option value="repair">Repair</option>
I have a javascript adding new options to a drop down select menu getting the information from the database.[code]...
I want one of them to be added as selected. I will put an "if" check and if it the value of the option and the value in the database is equal I want that option to be added as "selected".
I'm looking for some code for creating a drop down option menu for locations, i.e. when registering a user selects a state / county from a drop down menu.I need 3, one for USA, UK and Europe.
This is hopefully my last jquery question. I have a slight issue with my buttons and dropdown menu. What happens is lets say user chooses option type "ABCDE" in first dropdown menu and then second dropdown menu chooses the value "4" for the number of answers and then clicks on the buttons "A","B","C" and "E", well if the user then decides to change the option type to "ABC", the buttons "A", "B" and "C" are still selected from the last time they have been selected.
What I want is that if the Option Type (OptionDropId) changes, then buttons selected is refreshed so no buttons are selected from the last time they have been selected.
This did used to work but when I included my change() event handler in my code which I need, the buttons do not refresh whenever a new dropdown option (OptionDropId) is selected. So I think the edit of the code may need to happen in the code below:
Code: $(document).ready(function () { var OptDrop = new Array(); OptDrop.abc = ["",1,2];
[Code]...
My code is in JSfiddle, (the second dropdown menu and buttons may not appear in JSFiddle but the code does work properly, I feel it is better displaying code in JSfiddle then in my questions as it will take up a lot of space. If you want to see working version then post code in your web document and it should work).
I want to use a <select> drop-down in a form to let my user select a date from a list. The problem is how to easily update the list.
Easiest would be to have a list of dates in a separate file, and have code that would read the dates and write them into the <option> statements of the <select> control. Then when the page with the <select> control opens, the code will open the other file, get the dates, and update the <option>s. And all I have to do is periodically FTP a new date file.
I'm stuck in Visual Basic and FileSystemObject, where I can open a file, read line by line into an array, concatenate a string, and write it into a doc. I can't seem to find similar methods in JavaScript - no duh, because this isn't VB!
So _is_ there a way to do this? Maybe a certain way to create the date file so the code can easily find the values? (Like putting the dates into a table with each <TD> having a unique ID?) And assuming I manage to get the dates, I need to write them into the source HTML, vice in the document body.
What objects, methods, properties do I look at? Are there any samples floating around out there?
have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user. The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I cannot use the title attribute option as its not compatible with my web browser
I have a html form with two drop down menu's. Now what i need is if some one selects a certain option in the first drop down menu then it will show the second one, Otherwise it stays hidden.
I'm looking to create a drop-down menu with rather long option titles. The problem is that I want to restrict the boxes size otherwise the size changes to the length of the longest entry. When I use the length attribute, it forces the drop-down to be a certain length, but it also cuts the sentences in half when I drop the options due to the option box being the same length as what I set the drop-down menu's length to be.
Is there any way to set the drop-down menu's size, but have a different size on the option menu that is displayed when the drop-down menu is clicked?

I have a select control that has over 400<option></option>. To cut down on the user having to scroll through all 400 options I have included a text control that acts as a "Quick Index" and with each char entered into the text box the options are narowed. The problem I am having isthe once I have determined which option should be selected, how to set the option to value of "selected"
If i have a drop down list on my website, and i want to use javascript to change its selected value,however, i do not have the id/name attribute of the option i want to select, only have the "value" attribute of the option, can it be done?
I am still having trouble creating the Select Menu option. I got parts of the correct syntax but it is still not creating the selected carrier as an option in the parent page.
Help apprecitate,. I currently have it commented out just to show the line to you better:
function onCarrierSelect() { var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex ; var selectCar = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text; var varEl = "<%=varElementName%>"; if (window.opener && !window.opener.close) var oOption = window.opener.document.createElement("OPTION"); //window.opener.form.[varEl].options.add(oOption); oOption.innerText =selectCar; oOption.value =selectCar; window.close(); }
So then I have some JavaScript code, that automatically determines which state you're in. My question is, how do you get JavaScript to select the state the code has determined you're in? I tried these, to no avail.
When a user clicks "Add To Basket" I need some javascript to check that the size option they have selected is not "-" in the form before the actual form is submitted. my form is like so:
