n the following script, I am trying to set selection to a select
option element, that is newly created within the script. It works fine
on IE installations on Windows 2000 and some XP machines. But on some
XP machines, the selection doesn't happen and it defaults to the first
element in the options array. Has anybody come across this problem ?
Any known workarounds?
I have a little bit of a complex script where I have a <SELECT> that is pre-loaded with options that are loaded from a database in PHP. But, when this page is loaded the <SELECT> is disabled, and is only enabled when an onChange() is triggered on another <SELECT> that is situated on the same page.
Anyway, when I enable the <SELECT> I would like to have one of the <OPTION>'s selected (instead of having a blank <SELECT>).
The line of JavaScript that I have so far (but isn't really getting me anywhere) to try to select an <OPTION> when the <SELECT> is enabled is as follows...
document.forms['edit_consultant'].elements[con_elements[j]].options[selectedIndex].value = consultants[conid][j];
..where I am guessing that the 'options[selectedIndex].value' will select the <OPTION> with the value of consultants[conid][j] to be selected.
I'm trying set an option with a certain value to selected. I'm using this: $('#mySelect option[value="' + myValue + '"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); This has worked in another piece of code I wrote, but now IE 6 and 8 are throwing an error (in the debug bar). It's something similar to this: "The selected attribute couldn't be set. Unknown error." Anyone ever experienced something similar?

I need to select by default an option element passed as parameter to the page with the form.

I am trying to display a rel of each option as they are selected into a div below it . There are several selects of classProductAvailability on the page. When one of the selects changes, I'd like the value of the rel of the selected option to display.At first it seems to work, but only if you start by changing the last pull down menu. The trouble seems to be in the"select.ProductAvailability option:selected", this needs to be written for this instance, not all of the selects of that class on the page. How do I write that, I've tried$(this+" option:selected") but it won't take.

I´m trying to create a dropdown menu through createElement, browser is IE.
The problem is setting one of the options as "selected".
So far I have:
options = editor.config[txt];
el = document.createElement("select");
for (var i in options) {
var op = document.createElement("option");
op.appendChild(document.createTextNode(i));
op.value = options[i];
el.appendChild(op);
}
I get my dropdown menu, but how do I set selected?
I´ve tried
op.selected = true
without success.
The code below works perfect in Firefox, not in IE8.

In JS can you set the value of a SELECT dropdown box by text value, not index value?
The following will set the SELECT box by the index value, selecting the second value in the dropdown box
var varyear = 1
document.myform.year.options[varyear].selected = true;
however i want to set it like this...
var varyear = 2006
document.myform.year.options[varyear].selected = true;
...to set the SELECTED value to 2006...which doesn't work
I have a drop down menu with options. Is there a faster way to display a tool tip based on the value of the <option> tag other than having to manually set title="" for each <option> tag?

Is this possible with JQuery? I have the following code which I think Should do this, but it's not working :/These are two different functions which I've been testing, and the html element is supposed to create a dropdown list via some PHP which will have the option "Other" within it. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly how to turn "Other" into a text box when the user clicks, and I've been spending a lot of time on this already.

I'm setting up a fictitious shopping page which uses cookies to remember what a user has selected. The products are photographs that the user can select either framed or unframed versions and I'm trying to put a confirmation box if the user actually requests framed and unframed versions of the same photograph. The code I'm using actually worked before I tried to add this extra functionality but I can't work out how to test for this extra bit. Here's my code and it sets cookies with names as either lulworth01 for the unframed version or lulworth01f for the framed version. The bits that work are in black and my extra code for this test is in red.
function getCookie(name){
var index = cart.indexOf(name + "=");
if(index == -1)
return null;
index = cart.indexOf("=", index) +1;
var endstr = cart.indexOf(";",index);
if (endstr == -1) endstr = cart.length;
return unescape(cart.substring(index, endstr));
} function setCookie(name) {
if ((name.charAt(name.length-1)='f') && (getCookie(name.substring(0,10))!=null)) {
confirm("You seem to have placed orders for both a mounted and framed image of the same photograph.
Is that OK?");
} else {
alert("Thank you.
Your basket has been updated.");
x=parseInt(getCookie(name)) || 0;
y=x+1;
var today = new Date();
var expiry = new Date(today.getTime()+28*24*60*60*1000); // plus 28 days
document.cookie=name+"="+y+";expires="+expiry.toGMTString();
cart = document.cookie;
}}
In the code below I want to alert the selected option of select.
In Mozilla the code works (If I choose "3" alerts it).
In IE alerts: nothing appear

<select id=day onchange="hi();">

if I have a select with more options,
how I can know if is there an option selected;
is necessary a cycle? or is there an inner property?
I'm trying to update a part of my page depending on the option selected from a drop down menu. A few of the options can trigger this event. So to do this i've given those options a class name, that i can check against when they're selected. eg...
Code:
So if 'test2' or 'test4' are selected it will check if the class name is present then do the rest. But I cant get the class name from JQuery. I've tried..

I have a select box with a few options. When the page loads I need to get the selected option in this select box and alert its inner text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have multiple select boxes that have various options such as 'bangles', 'rings', 'earings' etc and I have a div that doesn't display until an option has been selected from one of the select boxes. If the option 'rings' is selected I don't want to display the div '#size'.

The trouble I'm having is that I can't figure out how to use $(this) with option:selected. if I simply put the id of one of the select boxes then it works, but only for that one select box. I want it to be dynamic.
Basically, I have a <select> drop down with a bunch of <option>s, each with an onmouseover command. The problem is that if I click on one of the options, it loses its mouseover effect. Here's the code:
Code:
<select>
<option onmouseover="tooltip('Some stuff')">Blah</option>
<option onmouseover="tooltip('Some more stuff')">More blah</option>
<option onmouseover="tooltip('Even more stuff')">Blah blah blah</option>
</select>
The tooltip() function creates a basic tooltip. While the drop-down menu is open, the onmouseover functions work just fine. It's when the option has been selected that it stops working.
I have a select box with about 5 options. I need to have one of the options, when selected, display a second select box.
The second select box is populated by a database and needs to be preloaded
so the page doesnt refresh. How can this be done?
I guess could have the second select box displayed but disabled and it would
become active once the option is selected on the first select box.
I have2 select boxes with 2 options. If I change the first box I want to reset the second box.

There appears to be no difference between these two when the page loads.
<select id="one">
If there is no "selected" then it always defaults to first value.
How can I tell if the page has loaded and no options have been selected?
