I'm having some trouble with what seems to be a fairly simple issue: I have a <select> field with a few options inside of it. The idea is that a user can select an option in this dropdown and, dependent on what they choose, the output in another div with change.
The form:
<form class="formStyle">
<fieldset>
<label for="soFormStyle">style:</label>
<select name="soFormStyle" id="soFormStyle">
[Code]....
So, this JQuery only works if the option is preselected (if I select and reload the page). I thought I was on the right track, but I just can't get it working as I intended. Again, the idea is that a user selects "Page Curl" or "Logo", and the image in the preview pane changes according to their selection.
As far as my understanding of HTML DOM aka DHTML goes, is that if the DOM structure of HTML document is changed programmatically using JavaScript in the browser, it immediately gets reflected in the page's view. For example, if following code is executed on say a click of a button
var f = document.getElementById("f1"); // f1 is id of a form var i = document.createElement("input"); i.setAttribute("type", "text"); f.appendChild(i);
the page immediately shows the new textbox under that form. But in the following code, this doesnt happen.
<form id="f1"> <select id="cars"> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="fiat">Fiat</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select> </form> <script> // Gets executed say on click of some button var c = document.getElementById("cars"); c.options[1].setAttribute("selected", "selected"); // doesnt work c.options[1].selected = true; // works </script>
the option in combo box remains same. I checked in Firebug that the attribute is added properly. Using the selected attribute works. Why so?
I don't know if this is something you could do without JavaScript, but anyways... I want to make a drop down menu that changes a form based on the option, like if I chose Option1, it would show Form1 and so on.
I have a select dropdown with several options. The user selects an option and fills out the following few fields. If the user then changes his mind and changes the option in the dropdown, I want all the fields - or just the ones already filled out - to be cleared.
Note: reset() of the form is not an option as there are other things going on (hide/display of fields based on the dropdown option selected).
I'm assuming it's possible to change the selected option of SELECT box with JavaScript based on the value and not index, but my searches have turned up nothing that seem to address this. It may be my searching terms, but if someone knows how to do this, could you post some code samples?
I know this will have been covered but search isn't working for me at the moment. Easy one for people who know JS anyway, I'm sure: I have a SELECT box that precedes a text input, however, when a particular option is selected (the value of which is "BETWEEN") I need a hidden SPAN to become visible. It is hidden as default with "visibility:hidden;" so I need to just change it to "visibility:visible;" if memory serves. Anyway, likewise, if it is already visible, I need it to be both hidden and have the input in that span have an empty value. Any tips? I need to apply this to many rows in a table, so a function that I can call with the span and input IDs would be best I reckon.
what would be the best way to have a hidden array of possible text directed at a textarea and then if something is not within that array "onfocus", a certain select option is chosen within that form?
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.
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');
I 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.
I want to change the color of the text in my array output according to certain conditions. The output looks like this:
dfjklasdjkfklasjdfjkljasdfjljsd EVENT asdfkjfklasdjflaskdjfklasdfasidvj ROOT sdfjaskdlfklcmklfsdf LIVE_EVENT sdfjklasdjfklasdjfasdfk TEAM
And I would like it to look like this dfjklasdjkfklasjdfjkljasdfjljsd EVENT asdfkjfklasdjflaskdjfklasdfasidvj ROOT sdfjaskdlfklcmklfsdf LIVE_EVENT sdfjklasdjfklasdjfasdfk TEAM
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?
I'm iterating through each option of a select, and I need to selectively remove some options based on their value. Here's a sample option (I don't control the markup)
<OPTION selected value=7>Compliance</OPTION> $("select[title='MyTitle'] > OPTION").filter(function(){ var v=$(this).attr['value']; //other stuff
I've build a module in jQuery that converts a normal select box to a nice stylized list.When I click the anchor tag, it drops down the list with some JS. What I can't figure out is how to implement the keyboard. For example, if I wanted to drop down in the list, I could start typing.Could someone lead me in the right direction?I can't quite figure out what to google for.
I am using jQuery next() and prev() to navigate inside <select><option> tags. problem is I am using <optgroup> too and can't find a way to make it work
This might have been resolved, but I can't find a solution with mysearch. I'm trying to add a class with the text of the option. Simpleto do the selected option, but not all of them it seems.I want to change:
If I select "Other", a text box pops up and I can type in something and hit Add Item and it will add it to the drop down box, but the selection will stay at "Other". How do I make it select the item I just added?
I learned javascript mainly from reading code.I'm have the most experience in c++. At any rate, what I want to happen is this .User chooses an option from a dropdown (select form.)A textbox outputs the option they selected. This is my code so far: don't laugh at my old school c++ mindset.. It's all I know :o
<script type="text/javascript"> function setcharge(chargeamount) {[code]........
I am making a usermanagementsystem and working with access levels. I been trying to make a script that when it does a post request and get data in return in json to choose default selected option in a select input. I been trying for two days now all different things. This is what I got that somewhat works. Any ideas how to make it select the right option?
