I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the selectedIndex of a select by its value, without going through a loop to check for it.
I know the value of a select, and I want to make the option be selected. But I don't know the selectedIndex. Was hoping to do it without going through a loop to determine the selectedIndex
Is it possible to trigger a change event on a select field when the selectedIndex or val is set with jQuery? I've tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I'm attempting to replace a select field with one of my own design. The issue is if i attached a change event to a select field, when the index is changed it needs to fire that event. Basically if a select field is replaced with my list and a seperate script is set on the select list, I need that seperate script to fire without knowing what it is.

Here's an example:
HTML Code:
<select name='elem'>
<option id=颼' value='Hello' name='hello' />
<option id=餠' value='Hello' name='hello' />
</select>
My Javascript is as follows - THIS CODE DISPLAYS CONTINUOUS VALUES: 1,2,3...
Code:
alert(elem.options.selectedIndex);
If I were to use the following, I'd get 'undefined' alerts
Code:
alert(elem.options.selectedIndex.value);
The thing is I need the value, not the index.
Any ideas/references?
I have one select, I can say wich element is selected:
<select name="myselect">
<option value="100">A</option>
<option value="101">B</option>
<option value="102">C</option>
</select>
this line will select the option B
myselect.options.selectedIndex = 1;
but, how can I do if I want to select the option B without knowing it´s position?
I mean, I want to select the option B and the value 101, but I don´t know it´s position
any idea?
I am using IE5 and have a select-box with options that have different
colors. Is there a way to read out the style attribute of the
selectedIndex (here: color)? See simple demo script here under...
I have the following snippet I'm trying to make work in Firefox:
Code:
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
No errors are thrown and the correct index is not selected.
However, when I add the following line to the snippet, it magically works fine:
Code:
alert(sBox.options.length);
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
Instead of using alert, I've tried simply assigning sBox.options.length to throwaway variable, but I end up with the same results as the first snippet.
why does this work under FF and only ONCE in IE but the problem remains the same as the firefox only code crashed IE's javascript.so it works only once still.SOLUTION -> changed event from onchange to onclick for my checkbox calling that function !
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using selectedIndex to change an option in a listbox, but I'm finding that the onChange event doesn't fire unless I manually make a selection. Is there any way to effect the change by JS so that the event works?

This is my sample code so far. Currently it only works for "Akali" under the "Select a champion..." dropdown list.
The way it works is, you select a level from 1-10 from the "Select a level..." dropdown list, and then you select Akali from the other dropdown list and her "Health" is calculated by "lvl * 80 + 510" which works perfectly. But the problem is if you change the level that value does not update automaticly. Instead the person using it has change the level to the new level they desire, change the champion and change it back again for it to update. Which normally would be ok, but I will be adding much, much more data to the page and I can't ask people to have to update stuff 10 times just to get accurate figures.
I took this from the w3schools jQuery tutorial and built a button, so ignore the way it currently works. I guessed that with a button it would when pressed it would take the latest, aka current selectedIndex values and all would work fine, and it does actually. But I just wanted to ask if there was any way to keep all the information updated at all times without a button, or maybe a button that will update everything on the website with just one click?
I have a problem determening the preselection of a dropdown list via
JavaScript DOM:
The followin code works fine with IE and Mozilla but does not preselect
the correct element in Opera:
//snip
myCurrentElement =
window.document.getElementById(''role'');
myNewElement =
window.document.getElementsByTagName(''font'')[0];
myNewChildElement =
window.document.getElementsByTagName(''select'')[0];
for (var i = 0; i < optionArray.length; i++)
{
myNewGrandChildElement =
window.document.createElement(''option'');
myNewGrandChildElement.setAttribute(''value'',
optionArray[i]["value"]);
if (optionArray[i]["selected"]!=null)
{
//myNewGrandChildElement.setAttribute(''selected'', ''selected'');
}
myNewGrandChildElementText =
window.document.createTextNode(optionArray[i]["label"]);
myNewGrandChildElement.appendChild(myNewGrandChild ElementText);
myNewChildElement.appendChild(myNewGrandChildEleme nt);
}
myNewElement.appendChild(myNewChildElement);
myCurrentElement.appendChild(myNewElement);
//snip
If the user types "a" then the select box is populated with "Choose An Animal...", then the three three animals beginning with A. So far so good. But if the user selects say Albatross and then types the letter b then the option "Bear" is selected rather than "Choose An Animal". Although the code is sel.selectedIndex = 0; (not 1). How can I force the selected index to 0 when a choice has been made previously? Is this a bug - if so it is the same in IE and FF.

I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head>
$(function() {
//function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*[code]....
// This script supports an unlimited number of linked combo boxed
// Their id must be "combo_0", "combo_1", "combo_2" etc.
// Here you have to put the data that will fill the combo boxes
// ie. data_2_1 will be the first option in the second combo box
// when the first combo box has the second option selected
// first combo box
data_1 = new Option("Business Cards", "$");
data_2 = new Option("Club Flyers", "$$");[code].....
I have this code, and I was wondering if it is possible to make the select boxes appear AFTER you select the field before.
i am trying to pass text from one select box to another select box. The logic is if 10 are added, no more passing must happen. Also if an item is already added, it mustn't be added again.I am using the for loop to check the existence of an item but it is not working: what am i doing wrong?
Code:
function PassSelectValues(){
//pass values from select boxes to select boxes
var counter;[code]....
why isn't counter incrementing at all? The alert message box does appear saying item exists but the item gets added anyway.
disable select until user puts mark in check box. Then enable select.I have two select box's on a page. The first asks what product, the second is based on the first and presents a list of pdf's according to which product the user selected. (yes, multi dimensional)What I have works fine, but now i need to make the user put a check mark in a check box before the First SELECT box becomes enabled/available.So basically, when they agree, they can get the download.Here are my select boxes.
HTML Code:
<form>
<select name="category" style="width:180px"></select>
<select name="site" style="width:180px" onchange="openLink(this.value)"></select>[code]....
(ignore the The 'open' button. It's there in case the default option is what the user wants, so they don't have reselect via the select box.)
1. How do I disable the select boxes by default on page load?
2. How do I detect that the user has put a tick in and the enable the disabled Select box?
I have a php function that list all of the countries from my database as a select option, then based on what the user selects for their country im using jquery to make an ajax call and get all of the states/regions for that country. This part works fine. I'm running into an issues, as when a user login's in to edit their profile, how would I make the select change based on what is in the databse.

I'm having problems with a Javascript 'Lookup' function.
Basically, I have a select menu 'Customer' which triggers a 3 JS functions, to populate 2 extra select menus.
Using IE Developer Tools, during debugging, I get this error: Expected ';' Error
This relates to either: eval(ajax_CustContact[index].response); OR eval(ajax_CostCentreContact[index].response); (it's a bit random, as sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
I have tried changing the 'custid' to 'custname' to check whether it was an integer causing the problem, but had the same problem.
I have a ColdFusion page with a select drop down list. On submit, I'm storing the value in a cfparam and trying to use jQuery to auto select that particular option. Currently I'm using :contains but this is unacceptable because it selects the last item that contains the cfparam.
$("option:contains('<cfoutput>#form.company_type#</cfoutput>')").attr('selected', 'selected');
Is there something like this:
$("option").equals('<cfoutput>#form.company_type#</cfoutput>')").attr('selected', 'selected');
[Code]....
I willconsider other alternatives to accomplishing my objective.
What I try to do is the following..let's say I have this form:
<select name="sSelectMe" class="someclass">
<option value="">select an option</option>
<option value="1">option 1</option>

I'm trying to get a select box to display text from a database in a div tag from the select box populated by a while loop that also pulls from the database. The only way I can do this is from a javascript written by sending it over to a second page and I need it on just one page. Here is my code below:
<?php
session_start();
$q=$_GET["q"];
$num = $_GET['num'];
$test = $_GET['oneGram1'];
$_SESSION['oneGram']=$test;
[Code]...
Even if this is a wrong way to go about doing this can someone post just a simple script using a select box and displaying data on the same page?
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 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');
[Code]....
is there a way to select all values of a multiple select list by default?
