For some reason this doesnt work in IE.
var oSelect = document.createElement('select');
oSelect.name = 'Year[]'
for (var i=1950; i<=2005; i++)
{
var oOption = document.createElement("option");
oOption.text = i;
oOption.value = i;
oSelect.appendChild(oOption);
}
oSelect.add(oOption); works in IE but doesnt in FF. Although, its mentioned here that appendChild applies to OPTION too. How do I get this working on both browsers ?
I'm trying to add options to a select box the error I get occurs when I try to append "hello" to the option object here's the code that I'm trying to execute:
var option=document.createElement("option");
option.value="1";
option.appendChild("hello");
document.forms[0].shows.appendChild(option);
here's the error I get: Code:
I'm making a form with some select options, and when clicking an option from the drop down, another option will appear.
The thing is that it seems to work in the most common browsers, but for myself, as a beginner in Javascript, I don't know if it's written the correct way. What could be done better?
Aswel, before I write further to this part of code, I want to know that the value of the second option will pass correctly via the PHP process script afterwards... because initially, the second option is not mentioned in the .html file, it comes in virtually by the javascript.
Html:
Code HTML4Strict:
<form action="link-to-php-process-script" method="post">
<p>
<label for="blabla">Choose: </label>
<select name="blabla" id="choice">

I have an interesting issue. I use an old, CSS-style tabbed page that sets a style on a <div> containing an <iframe> to display:block if the tab is clicked, and display:none if the tab is not currently selected. This works fine and is not the issue, just background information....In one of the pages that is currently set to display:none, I remove all the options and add new ones based on a data return from an ajax query. If I do this in a more traditional direct DOM manipulating Javascript fashion, everything is OK and the select remains unseen. However, doing this using jQuery causes the select to appear and bleed-through to the <iframe> content that is currently visible.
document.forms[0].test_select.options.length = 0;
document.forms[0].test_select.options[0] = new Option("--- TESTING ---");
I'm currently working with a bit of javascript to dynamically add
<option>s into a select box. My code currently works fine in Internet
Explorer, however in Firefox the dropdown only displays the first
option in the list, and when clicked the other values aren't displayed.
Here is the code;
//ar_options is an array with the option to be displayed in.
for (count=0; count<number_of_options+1; count++)
{
document.forms['enquiry'].enquirytype.options[count] = new
Option(ar_options[count],ar_options[count]);
};
As I said - fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. I did
discover some discussions about this, which were talking about an issue
and workarounds but I couldn't get any of them to work. I have also
tried simply using the document.write() function to output the HTML in
the correct place. However this is just hte same, works in IE but not
Firefox.
This is a shortened version of my problem. Below I am cloning the first
data row and appending it to create a new row. If you make selections/add
values and then press Add Row, the text box value is carried to the new
row's text element also (the select doesn't retain it's selected value).
How can I create a new row with the form elements in the original no value
state? I tried cloning the Node on page load, but then it only allows me to
add one row. Is there a way to clone the row and retain it to add as many
rows as I like. I know I can clear all the values of the row after I create
it, but that seems like a long way around especially since I have many
fields in my actual code. Code:
I'm using the following code to remove an option from a select control based on a selection in a different select control and the option text in the select option that is being removed. The code works as I want it to, but I would prefer to use the option value for identifying the option to remove instead of using the option text. I've tried several different ways to do this, but can not find the proper syntax.

I wish to know if is possible to change the selected option in a SELECT selecting a determined option into another SELECT in the same form.
E.g: When I select the option "Istruction" in the SELECT named "A" I wish the SELECT "B" change the default state from "empty" to "other"
I'm using Prototype and scriptaculous either, but here it is:
I have two select areas and scripts to transfer items between the two.
Everything works great in FF, but in IE when an option gets removed it
removes the entire select area. Has anyone ever seen something like
this before?
According to [URL] intended way for jQuery to change dynamically the selected option of a dropdown select control isassigningthe desired text instead of the value. I found this way veryinconvenient (data structures usually deal with value codes, not value descriptions) and it seems to work only sometimes.
Trying different options I came out with this approach that seems to do the job so
far:
function setSelect(pID,pSelectedValue)
{
$('#'+pID + ' option:selected').removeAttr('selected');

if i have a <select> and i when i click an image i want to do an onclick event to select a specified option inside the <select> is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that uses jeditable to edit-in-place several fields and select boxes. Everything is working great. Now I need to a way to add a new option to the select list. What I would like is the user select "Add New..." from the select list that would pop-up a dialog window where several fields are filled in. When the form is saved the select field is updated with the new ID and description. I use Facebox for pop-up windows to display notes when the user clicks on a topic. I know Facebox can be used to display a form. It would be ideal to use this ability when creating a new option for the select box.

Im trying to develop an AJAX application which updates a <select> list with a series of <option> tags when the user makes an entry in a field.
Therefore, my ajax application needs to dynamically create <option> tags and append them to the <select> list on the form. I have got this working in all browsers. However, i do not know how to add an "onclick" event handler to each <option> tag that is dynamically created in my javascript code.
Code:
As you can see, i create an option javascript object for each new <option> tag and add it to the <select> list. This works. But how can i also add an "onclick" event handler in the javascript code?
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 problem with the following code, when run on IE6 the value for
opt_sel is null but on Mozilla or konqueror the value is the option
selected (as expected). I have tried several books on the matter(and
google), but they seem to indicate that what i am trying to do should
work.. Code:
in my SELECT (like below), the option value has 2 values, separated with
comma ","
<select name="sIdName">
<option value="10,John">John</option>
<option value="11,Eva">Eva</option>
<option value="22,Danny">Danny</option>
</select>
How can I read these two values individually from Javascript statement ?
like one is 10, another one is John
i.e document.form.option[document.form.selectedIndex].value?
I'm having two Slecet Option inputs. When both are chosen i want to compare the two make sure they ar ethe same. Its for confirmation purposes.How would i get the value of a selected option. (I don't know which option is chosen, I don't know the id of the option, i dont know the value of the option. I just now the id n name of the select)
<select name="whatever">
{Loop here to output many options}
</select>
Given a drop down list such as:
<SELECT NAME=sections >
<OPTION>Merge</OPTION>
<OPTION>Nuke</OPTION>
<OPTION>Merge & Nuke</OPTION>
</SELECT>
If one selects Merge, then i want another form displayed with input fileds etc, but if one select Nuke then a different form will be displayed and if one selects the last option then both above forms will be displayed. Can anyone show me a script (i.e. javascript) that does just that or care for a example?
How do i select an option in a combo box? i have tried looking on the internet but dont really know what i should be searching for. what i want to happen is that when a function is called
a line of code will select a specific option in a combo box. something like:
//excuse the dodgy syntax
function select_combo() {
cb_1.select[3] //where option 3 will be selected (or 4 if first index
is 0)
}
the combo box would be something like:
<select>
<option>First</option>
<option>Second</option>
<option>Third</option>
</select>
The function would change the selection in the combo box.
Hi!, I want to fix via javascript the combo width to a fix value. I'd like to implement a kind of ALT / TITLE function to show the entire option when the text is longer than the combo width...
