Forcing Drop-down List To Appear
Jul 20, 2005
I have what I think is a fairly simple problem, but I cannot figure
this out. I have a SELECT object on my page. When the user performs
a certain action, I want the focus to be placed in the drop-down field
AND the actual list of drop-down objects to appear (i.e. simulating
that the user has clicked in that field). Ideally, of course, the
currently selected entry should be highlighted. Listed below is a
snippet of sample code. If the focus is currently in the text field
and the user clicks on the "Test" button, I would like the entire
drop-down menu to appear. I have not had any success with the
"fireEvent" method or the "click" method (only "focus" seems to work). Code:

I am trying to create a drop down list which depend to the value selected from the previous drop down list. I can add it without problem, but If I change again the value of the first drop down list I would like to remove the previous drop down list generated from the first value. If I try to remove it when I create the element, it even does not create the element, the remove element function seems to work because when you click on the remove link it works.

I am asking jQuery to tell me which drop down option is selected in a drop down list - like this:
I would like to check if this was successful before I proceed. What are the possible return values for this statement?
If no id exists.
If no option is selected.
If some other problem occurred.
In these cases am I expecting a null return; an undefined return, a false return value?
And, based upon the complete set of return possibilities, what would be the best and most comprehensive tests I could apply to cover every base.

I have a table that has parts with multiple characteristics. Part Number, Height, Width, Capacity, Price, Etc. I would like to have a drop downs for all of these values, when a user selects one of these values it will filter the results into a list. Ex. user selects a part that has a Height of 6 and width of 10 it will only list those parts. As I said earlier, I have a script that will give me all the parts, however I am not able to make the onchange list parts with multiple values.

I have a page that displays a list of people playing in a tournament. I need to be able to generate a Leaderboard based on which players are manually selected by the admin. Next to each person there is a drop-down list. An admin can go in and select a "slot" that a player should be in on the leader board from 1 to 8, or leave it blank if none. What I need to figure out how to do is the following, when a change event happens on a drop-down list, and say the value 5 is selected, I need to check to make sure that 5 is not already selected in one of the other players drop-down lists, in other words, that the 5th leaderboard slot is not already full. if it is, display an error message and make them change that one first. how to do that with jQuery? I'm thinking it will have something to do with the each() function, but not sure exactly how the logic should work.

I have been struggling on a bit of code for a while now. I need to populate a second drop down list (Region) based upon the selection of the first (County).I have found a piece of code that works on its own and have adapted to suit my needs - see below. However, when I drop it into my main page the javascript is not working. It's because of the formObject but I just don't know enough to resolve this! Furthermore, I need the textboxes the user has already completed in the form to retain their value once the javascript kicks in as the completed form will submit to a database.This piece of code is working well . . . .
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');[code]......

I've been beating my head against a wall for a few days trying to get this working. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu where a user selects one item and another select list is shown, then another and another (and so on). Here is my JS, it *should* be taking the ID of the div, comparing it to the selected value and then showing another div by settings it's class property to visible:

iam trying to use 5 drop downs in my form for user to select languages and each select drop down should not allow the user to select the same language again and all my drop downs are populating individually from the DB on the page so if "English" is selected for "dropdown 1" then again "drop down 2" should not allow "English" to be selected.

How can I create a Javascript drop down list File? I want to have a webpage that contain a dropdownlist. But i want the items and values of that drop down lists to be stored in a seperate javascript file, So that my webpage call that JS file whenever user click on the DDList.
Basically what i am interested in is to place all my drop down list Items manually in the javascripting file and then on the main page there will be links from alphabet A-Z so when the user click on alphabet A the dropdown list will only show the containing items start with alphabet A....
Hope this makes sense!! The reason why is because there is a long list of items and i dont want to put them inside my page.

I would like to use a control on a WebForm that acts like an editable
DropDownList control. The user should be able to select a value from
the list of choices, or type in a new value if no predefined choice is
applicable.
It doesn't appear to me that a DropDownList control is editable.
How would you suggest I accomplish what I want to do?

The last two lines of the following code is not setting the value of the selector unless i debug it within firebug. when I set a breakpoint on those two lines it shows the val in the parentheses and it will set them correctly, but if I do not debug the script then it doesn't set them.
populateLists: function(executionLevel, contractor, program) {
var _chart = this;
$.each($('select#contractor option'), function() {
if ($(this).val() != "all") {

I know that this is very basic to most of you JS Guru's out there, but I am stumped. I have found dozens of tuts on this, but can't seem to find a VERY simple basic version of it. This is what I want, actually my client wants. I want to have a select list that gives the options of countries. Then upon selection this changes the drop down list of the states/provinces listed. So when I click on Europe it shows the different sections of Europe, and US it shows the states (I'm sorry I don't know what Europe calls their equivalent of a state), etc.

i was just wondering how I would validate a drop down list.
<select name="additional-info" id="additional-info" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Small">Small</option>
<option value="Medium">Medium</option>
<option value="Large">Large</option>
<option value="X Large">X Large</option>
<option value="XXL">XXL</option>
</select>
I submit via a link <a href> i don't know if thats any use. When the list is at nothing (the first opinon) I need an alert box to say select a size and to return false.

I'm trying to alter the contents of a drop-down (select) list on the
parent window from a child window in IE 6. After opening the child
window, I set its opener to reference the parent like this:
childwin = window.open(...)
if (childwin == null)
childwin.opener = self;
Then, to update the parent select list from the child window, I do
this:
opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options.length = 0;
opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options[0] = new Option("", "");
for (var ixy = 1; ixy <= newDataArray.length; ixy++)
{
opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options[ixy] = new
Option(someNewDisplayText, newValue);
}
This looks correct and works up to a point. I can empty the parent
select by setting the its options.length to zero. But, when I try to
add new options, IE gives me a "server threw an exception" message.
Is all this even possible in IE?

I have a <select style="" name="" size="2">
<option value="1">Name 1</option>
<option value="1">Name2</option>
</select>.
It will popup and display as a drop down list with "gray'ed" vertical
scrollbar. So how can I make it like a panel without the vertical
scrollbar at the right side?
