JQuery :: Hide A Select Menu On A Certain Selection?
Jun 15, 2011
say i have a select menu "select1" with several options available. And a color "color" menu with several options for color. Inside my "select1" option list i have a "variety" option.With this option selected i no longer need the "color" menu at all. I need a javascript or jquery that will make it so that when "variety" is selected it then hides the "color" select menu.
I'm pretty bad with Javascript, but I need to hide or show a snippet of text (could be inside a div without problems) based on the selection of a dropdown menu (<select>). If they choose anything with the word "Series" on it, I need to show the snippet. If they choose anything without "Series" on it, then the snippet needs to disappear. I should mention the snippet is part of a form, just a checkbox but that shouldn't be a problem I don't think.
Can I use JavaScript to have a select menu not display? Or a Div containing that select menu? I want the select menu not to display, if a certain data field is empty. I had tried a PHP code (hide region if), but that also deleted the functionality of the menu (onchange). I don't know how to put it in JavaScript, but what I want to say is "display div version, if version field is not empty".
Basically, I have written an application that runs a report based on a certain amount of parameters, one of which being date. So, the date selection is a <select></select> dropdown menu and it has the usual in it, today, yesterday, this week, last week etc. The problem is I need it to have a 'Custom' selection to run reports for custom dates. When 'Custom' is selected in the dropdown menu, two text boxes appear underneath with YYYY-MM-DD watermarked in them. I have assembled enough code from around the web to get this to work and it works fine, the problem I have is that when the user clicks off the 'Custom' option and on to a different one, I need the textboxes to disappear again.
Here is the code I am using: <script type="text/javascript"> function showhide(divid){ thediv = document.getElementById(divid); if(thediv.style.display== 'none' ){ thediv.style.display='block' }else{ thediv.style.display='none' }} .....
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');

I willconsider other alternatives to accomplishing my objective.
To build a menu block which should be switchable with hide/unhide of the menu items, I'm using .append html. The code idea is this:
[Code]...
As can be seen from above posted code there is a line "<div id="' + menuSlider + '" style="display:none">". Appending that -- AFAIS -- the .append is automatically (????) adding "</div>" which closes the statement. That breaks my idea of the whole concept! The menu part isn't included in the 'menuSlider '. QQ: How to change it -- NOT to have that "</div" added to it??
I've been having problems getting my select option to change the options of another select option. I'm not much of a javacsript coder, so I'm at a lost.When I select the first option nothing appears in the second option.
I have the following code that generates two dropdown boxes in a form, but I would like for the second to be hidden unless the first has 'Software problem' selected. Is it possible to do this?
I want that a <div> element will show when yes is selected and when no it should be hidden. For show and hind i will use the functions from the jQuery UI. But I don't find a way to call the hide / show function when the selection change.
The radio selection: <input type="radio" name="lang_anz" value="1"> Yes<br> <input type="radio" name="lang_anz" value="0" checked="checked"> No<br> When I understand the documentation I can request the current value from the radio with: <script type="javascript"> $('input:radio[name=lang_anz]:checked').val(); </script>But how i can now call the show / hide function when I change the selection?
I am trying to use the Jquery selecmenu to skin dropdowns.There are extra UL LI getting formed with data "undefined" so dropdown is showing undefined in end.
I'm using jquery validation plugin but i don't know how to do a thing:I'd like to enable a text field after selected a value from a selection list.The select field is this:
I built a reusable plugin for slideshows. Client now needs me to add something that will affect its reusability.The line below is a snippet which is attached to a nav button. Each slideshow has a dot per slide. When clicked I get the number of sibling that it is within the group and then I look UP the DOM to the nearest div with the class called 'slide_holder'. I then display the slide that has the same sibling number as the dot(In other words - If you click the second dot in the group of dots, then the second slide will fade in. If you click the 3rd dot, then the 3rd slide will fade in)Below is a snippet (CLICK HANDLER)

I have a calculator that I want users to be able to select a radio option that will display the coresponding calculator and hide it when the other radio button is selected in other words I want to only have one visible div at a time. How would I do this?
Here is my Javascript:
HTML Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript">
I have three dropdown menus (side dish, veggie, fruit). Based on the side dish selected (fruit or veggie), I'd like the fruit or veggie menu to appear automatically, while the one not selected stays hidden. Below is the code for the HTML part. I have no idea how to get started with the javascript.
If the first radio button is selected, I only want all three buttons to be visible to the user.
If the second radio button is selected, I only want the "Edit Data" and "View Data" buttons to be visible.
If the third radio button is selected, I only want the "View Data" button to be visible.
Is it possible to accomplish this in Javascript? In particular, I want to continue using the "input type=submit" buttons without having to create my own.
I have 3 divs that contain radio with labels and beneath each radio button I would like to show/hide a form based on whether the radio is selected or not.
Code idea:
So if the radio1 input is selected this would show form1. Selecting radio2 input would hide any other forms (form1, form3) and show form 2 etc.
I got a table.Each row has a list of statuses.If status == yes, then several elements will be shown in the rowif status != yes, then hide those elements.Im not sure if I have made a good solution, but it seem to work ok (opera9.6, ff2, ie7)The status selector passes on a unique rowid, and itself. This way the js function can get the row, and the status of the selection. Then toggle various elements in that row.Only annoying thing is the way row elements are named and found. It kinda have to rely on some hard coding, but its ok I guess.Im not sure if its possibel to just call toggle( this ), and that way get to the elements in the row.
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<p>Put in list?</p> <select name="in_list"> <option value="yes">Yes</option> <option value="no">No</option> </select>
Some PHP code governs whether the "yes" or the "no" option in either menu gets the 'default' "selected="selected" showing, based on database information. For instance, in the first menu, if the page deals with a case where the the first "is_current" value is indeed current, then the PHP code will write the default "selected="selected" for "yes":
HTML Code: <select name="is_current"> <option value=yes" selected="selected">Yes</option> <option value=no">No</option> </select>
If the page deals with a case where the value isn't current, the selected="selected" code will be written for the "no" value instead. The same goes for the second select menu. Now, the logic of my situation requires that, if the user selects "Yes" in the first "is_current" drop-down, then only "Yes" should be available to select in the second "in_list" menu. Anyway, I don't know javascript very well, but I found a function that seemed to be able to do this.
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> (function () { function updateLevel() { var limit = Number(this.value); // find the next select element var selects = this.form.getElementsByTagName('select'); var select; for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) { if (selects[i] === this && selects[i+1]) { select = selects[i+1]; break; .....
(Apparently the script has to be put or called just before the </body> tag at the end of the page.) Then the select menus are recast as:
<p>Put in list?</p> <select name="in_list"> <option value="1">Yes</option> <option value="2">No</option> </select>
Now this appears to work, up to a point. If the user selects "Yes" for the first "is_current" selection, then only "Yes" becomes available for selection in the second "in_list" menu. A posted value of "1" represents "yes", and a value of "2" represents "no". Except, in Firefox, the javascript somehow overrules the default selected="selected" code. That is, the source code in the browser is correct, but the javascript draws it incorrectly.
For instance, say the database/PHP has drawn selected="selected" for the value "yes" in the second menu. Even though I can see that the source code is OK in the browser, the javascript will make the browser show a "No" selection as the initial default. This happens in Firefox, though not in Safari, and I haven't tested other browsers yet. This may be obvious but I'm not sure of javascript.
I am setting up a contact form, and want to have a drop down box with a handful of options. Clicking one option should display fields to input username & password, whereas all others will not. So far, I've tried and (replacing 'none with 'block' for the option that is supposed to show the input fields) but neither does what I need it to. I'm fairly new to javascript, just muddling my way through with the aid of tutorials.
I have a big form which I'm tidying up by only showing elements when they become relevant, based on the currently selected input (eg to only show an option for 'waist size' when garment type 'jeans' has been selected). I've done this many times, and probably used a different approach each time, so I just wanted to see what other people do. It's currently along these lines: "If a particular option is selected, then show this element, otherwise hide it".
Code: //the onclick handler function checkViewType() { //go through radio inputs in the cell and check what's clicked document.getElementById('supplierOptions').style.display=radioCollection.supp.checked?"":"none"; document.getElementById('subCatOptions').style.display=radioCollection.subcat.checked?"":"none"; document.getElementById('subCatTimeOptions').style.display=radioCollection.subcat_sumtype_time.checked?"":"none"; document.getElementById('subCatSumOptions').style.display=radioCollection.subcat_sumtype_sum.checked?"":"none"; document.getElementById('subcat_weekmonth_span').innerHTML=radioCollection.subcat_time_week.checked?"week":"month"; }
But it's a big form, with lots of nested options, and some elements can be triggered visible by several different options. So I'm looking for an elegant way to handle this without a million if..elses. Perhaps an array of element ids and which elements are allowed visible when that's selected.
