We have had this script on our site for a while, and it has always
worked in any browser we have tested. It dynamically fills one select
based on the selection of another select. Unfortunatly, with the
release of NS 7, and the related Mozilla engine, this script no longer
works. Code:
I'm trying to create a drop down menu with four different boxes. The site I'm working on is basically an ecommerce site, so I'll use cars as a good example for what I want to do.
Let's say that I'm selling cars and want to target the buyer directly, then I would have the following boxes, each one serving as a dependent of the one before it:
1. Pick the brand (BMW, Mercedes, Etc.)
2. Pick the type of car (Sports car, SUV, Mini Van, etc.)
3. Pick the color (blue, green, etc.)
4. Pick the price ($0-$19,999/$19,999-29,999/etc.)
So far I have the first two boxes down by using the following site: [URL]. Now my problem is that the site only allows for the first two boxes to be made, and says that
"the values in box1 are static and printed directly as normal HTML. The corresponding box2 options will also be copied into the HTML as well as the javascript for full functionality."
Being a complete newbie, I have no idea what this means. So I decided to search the internet for an answer and was not able to find one, thus leading me here, which from the looks of it seems like a great forum.
how to connect a third and fourth box that falls into the same hierarchy as the first and the second then I would appreciate.
creating --Dynamic dependent cascading select using Ajax.It should not use asp .net, I need to add the code in a text field to generate this kind of cascading customized field.eg. initially we need to populate a select list from database. Then, on selecting an option the next select list needs to get populated with corresponding values, then again on selecting..the third list needs to get populated --this should happen dynamically(with no page refresh).
I have four html form check boxes.The user is allow to choose one or three of the check boxes, the last check box has a value of None.
Example: What's your favorite color.1. Red 2.Blue 3. Green 4. Gray. 5. None.The user can select more then one color.So I'm wondering how can I make the other check boxes deselect when the user click None.So if the user select None, then the other boxes cannot be checked. know you can do this with radio buttons but I would like the user to select more then one option.
OnChange, I want to invoke a function that auto populates the rest of the SELECT fields in the form. The select boxes will vary in quantity as the page is dynamic, but the values are always the same (like the code above).
I have 3 select boxes! one is hotel one is destination and one is country...
if someone clicks selects the country then the destination select box shows the destinations in that country and further if he chooses destination all the hotels in in that destination are shown in hotel select box....(everything is from mysql database)
I don't have a clue how to do this or where to find some readings about it and I really need that desperatly....
I have a form that starts like this: http:[url].....I would like to have it set so that when they select Atlantis, it pulls out information into the second box, then they select something in there and it creates a list in the last box... does anyone know how to do this?
I am using alot of Select boxes on one of my PHP/XHTML pages and i need to ensure the user has selected at least one option from the box.I have little experience with Javascript, but I tried this;
function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg) { if(elem.nodeValue == null)[code].....
All that is happening is its returning a boolean false regardless of whether or not i select an option.
I have 3 select boxes (2 visible and 1 hidden ). I move elements from one sb to the other via this function [code]I need to synchronize the hidden select box with one of the visible select boxes. When I move elements to the visible select box they should be also copied to the hidden select box and vice versa, when moving elements from the visible select box, also move them form the hidden select box.
Each time I dynamically load the options of a select box and then try to do anything with it (such as clicking it or using other JS code on it) I get the following Firefox error:Error: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount = NS_ERROR_DOM_INDEX_SIZE_ERR
I am using the following code:<select id="day" name="day"></select> <script language="javascript"> var options_list = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31); selectbox_element = document.getElementById('day'); selectbox_element.options.length = 0; // Remove any previous values.
for (var i = 0; i < options_list.length; i++) { selectbox_element.options[i] = new Option(options_list[i], options_list[i]); } </script>
The "options_list" array is filled beforehand using a simple PHP for() loop.
If I create the exact same options but do so by writing them into the HTML using PHP, then I don't see the error message anymore.
This problem happens in both Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer.
I have a product select page that is really slow to use because 6 dropdowns must be populated and the page reloads after selecting each box, to get the options for the next box.I want to speed it up as follows:
1) User selects one of 50 products from a dropdown list.
2) Page reloads, and all the possible options for the remaining 5 dropdown boxes are now populated (ie. list options all stored client side)
3) User can freely input the remaining 5 dropdowns without the page reloading.
I'm populating a couple of dropdown boxes from an xml file, but can't get them working independently. As you can seehtmwhen you select an item from the first select box (a polyline), itdisplays the corresponding item from the other box (a polygon), too.I found this answer on the google maps forum:"Don't know of an example, but building two select boxes isn'tdifficult: pass into your createMarker() function the relevant flag,and add the data to one of two variables (instead of everything beingadded to select_html as now).You shouldn't need two handleSelected() functions -- both select listscan use the same function because each select box passes itself("this") into the function."which is what I thought I did (making sel_html and select_html) butmaybe the two variables being discussed here are different ones?cross-posted on the google maps forum here and here but not answered.
I have the below JS code to change up a select box based on what is selected in another select box. IE9 broke this somehow. It still works in other browsers as well as IE8 and IE7.
When you select something in select box A, it properly populates select box B. However when you go back and change select box A again the script stops working completely.
I'm trying to customize a script I found. It's about two select boxes, one for continent selection and one for country selection. When user selects a continent from the first select box, the second select box is filled with the list of the proper countries that belong to this continent.You can see that code of the script here:URl...In my page, the continent select box is loaded with a continent-value already selected (the selection depends on a database value) and I want to have the second countries select box, also loaded with the proper countries.I cannot make this happen, unless I change the continent's selection and trigger the onchange event. Can I someway keep the onchange event and also add the ability to have a continent and it's list of countries already loaded?
I have more than once wanted to manipulate the contents of select boxes dynamically, whilst the boxes contain <optgroup> tags. Manipulation of a select box containing only <option> tags is fairly easy and there is plenty of material on the net to assist with this. However, I have searched long and found the material on the subject of <optgroup> to be sparse, with a few posts here & there, but basically you're on your own.
After much trial & error regarding techniques for this, I have a fairly generic solution, which I decided to share, and the code is below. Two different scenarios I have come across are (1) altering the contents of one <select> dynamically depending upon another, and (2) being able click 'up' and 'down' buttons to alter the sequence of the listing (whilst keeping each <option> within its respective <optgroup>) I tried various solutions for both of these which tended to either trash the screen, alter which <optgroup> an <option> was under or trash the <optgroup>s altogether.
Both these situations can be handled with the solution here. Basically I keep the <optgroup>s and <option>s stored in an Array(), and then use the Array() to reconstruct the <select>.
To use, just manipulate the Array() in memory - which I find very easy - and then call the function to reconstruct.
I like to build the <select> <optgroup> <option> set using HTML as normal and then create the Array() with <body as this makes it usable where javascript is unavailable, rather than have the Array() as a hard-coded start point. Code:
I am trying to update all Select boxes on a page dynamically using javascript, I simple want to change the selected item in each select box when a tick box is pressed on the page. Each Select box is named in the same convention ie. ddl_DeliveryStatus_ and then the recordID and contains the same options in the same order. The number of select boxes changes every time the page is loaded as this is all built using ASP linked to a database.
I am hoping there is an array or collection or something similar I can simply reference to do this, but an struggling to find the answer.
I'm not entirely familiar with jQuery coding, but I've given it my best shot to get this script working properly, and I can't seem to manage it. Here is my scenario: I'm creating a website for a friend who sells custom jewelery cuts. There are 4 different parameters you have to choose about your cut, and we would like to change the image displayed to match the parameters you select so you have a picture of what your going to purchase. The idea is like this:
I have managed to get it to update the image for a single select box, but then If I select another one it completely overrides the first one, and displays the second box. Here is what I have so far (and no it doesn't work :P):
I have a form with 4 select boxes. At least one of them must be used during the submission event.I cannot get the logic straight that will enable this to happen.
[Code]...
This ensures that when only one select box is chosen, the form validates, however, it also validates if no boxes are selected. What's the most efficient way of doing this?
I have two Select Boxes on my web page, 2nd being populated based on selection of first select box. Now I am suppose to get the selected value of 2nd Select and put it in a link i.e. Code: <a href='abc.html?id=<2nd select box value>
I can get the selected value using Javascript with the following code: Code: 2ndid = form.2ndodf.options[form.2ndodf.options.selectedIndex].value; Where 2ndid is a global javascript variable. How I can use this variable into <a href> tag.
I have an in-house web application in which the user inputs items to a text field. Over 80% of all data entered into the field falls is one of three values, the other 20% is random. Can I make a select field that lets the user override the values with one of his own, or equally, create a textbox with a dropdown menu to select from?
The goal is to get the behavious of a web browser's address bar: the same control could accept random input, but also make suggestions in a pre-populated dropdown list.
Ideally, the control would work with and without the mouse, as the users are not confined to any single platform and we have Linux and Windows users as well.
I am not sure if this should be under JavaScript or CSS as the solution probably depends on both technologies.
I'm using onchange display to hide/show form elements depending on the value of a select box. It works perfectly well (I actually really adore it) for one select box, but I have another select box which I'd like to act similarly.
<head>
But when I go to add a second select (obj,id1,id2,id3,id4,id5,id6) with new "ifs" and id's, etc and so forth, neither work.
Is there any way to fuse them and get a second select to work the same?
I need to be able to move items that come from a database (no problem with that) between three multiple select boxes. I also need to be able to move the items up and down within individual boxes....
Question: How hard is the following to do in javascript and does anyone have a good example of this in use (aka how do you do it? )
4 drop down boxes all on one page. I have 4 items in the list of the first drop down box.
Red Blue Green Orange
When I select one, I want the choice to be taken out of the list for the second drop down box. So if I select Blue in Drop Down #1, Drop Down #2 now has the option of
Red Green Orange
If I select Red from the list the Drop Down #3 now has
Green Orange
Then if i select Orange, the last drop down has only one value and that is Green.
