How do I retrieve the currently selected option string in a select box instead of the value?
<select id="choices">
<option value="value">String</option>
</select>
Using
$("#choices").val();
returns the value if it's set. if there is no value set, jQuery returns the string instead. I want to retrieve the string while a value is set!
Here's what I'm trying to do is...If you select a color, then select a shape, the color option would return to the 'selected' position.If you select a shape, then select a size, the shape option would return to the 'selected' position and so on. The end result is I would like to have only one item selected from one of the select boxes, with the other two select boxes returned to the selected position.The code is presented here.

<h2>List Switch</h2>[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 have a form with 3 <select> items in it.Each one is to allow only 1 item to be selectedThese are the variables for mySQL query through PHP. I have a js file that is called when one of the select elements changes.I want the .js file to pull the value of all 3 of the select elements even if its blank.I can handle the error checking in php, i just don't know JS.This is simple html for the select item(s) each is named different but similar syntax.
Code:
<form name="viewData" class="shifty" >
<label>Select a month for Points Awards:</label>

I have four html form check boxes.The user is allow to choose one or three of the check boxes, the last check box has a value of None.
Example: What's your favorite color.1. Red 2.Blue 3. Green 4. Gray. 5. None.The user can select more then one color.So I'm wondering how can I make the other check boxes deselect when the user click None.So if the user select None, then the other boxes cannot be checked. know you can do this with radio buttons but I would like the user to select more then one option.
I searched here and some other places on the net but cant find anything that suits my needs. I have a SELECT box with 3 values Code:
<form name="form1">
<select name="length">
<option name="length" value="none">--Select for All--</option>
<option name="length" value="5">--5 Days--</option>
<option name="length" value="7">--7 Days--</option>
<option name="length" value="10">--10 Days--</option>
</select>
</form>
OnChange, I want to invoke a function that auto populates the rest of the SELECT fields in the form. The select boxes will vary in quantity as the page is dynamic, but the values are always the same (like the code above).
Does this make sense?
I am trying to add values of selected options in select boxes that update on any change...
I don't know why this is not working [code]...
I have 3 select boxes (2 visible and 1 hidden ). I move elements from one sb to the other via this function [code]I need to synchronize the hidden select box with one of the visible select boxes. When I move elements to the visible select box they should be also copied to the hidden select box and vice versa, when moving elements from the visible select box, also move them form the hidden select box.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have multiple checkboxes. How can I validate the group of check boxes so that a user can only select two. If they try to select more than two, an alert will pop up stating they can only choose two?
Code:
I am looking to create a set of three combo boxes with around 15 options in each. If an option is selected in one of the three boxes, it is removed as an option from the others.
Dropbox Box 1 Options: 1,2,3,...,15
Dropbox Box 2 Options: 1,2,3,...,15
Dropbox Box 3 Options: 1,2,3,...,15

So if the user changes there mind before submit, it repopulates each box with the proper items.
I'm not entirely familiar with jQuery coding, but I've given it my best shot to get this script working properly, and I can't seem to manage it. Here is my scenario: I'm creating a website for a friend who sells custom jewelery cuts. There are 4 different parameters you have to choose about your cut, and we would like to change the image displayed to match the parameters you select so you have a picture of what your going to purchase. The idea is like this:
I have managed to get it to update the image for a single select box, but then If I select another one it completely overrides the first one, and displays the second box. Here is what I have so far (and no it doesn't work :P):

I have a form with 4 select boxes. At least one of them must be used during the submission event.I cannot get the logic straight that will enable this to happen.

This ensures that when only one select box is chosen, the form validates, however, it also validates if no boxes are selected. What's the most efficient way of doing this?
I'm trying to populate select boxes depending on choices in other select boxes. In my case, the person has to choose a type of fixture type, then a select box with all the models would populate, and then a third select box with the watts have to populate.
In my code, the second select box is populating, but the third one is not. I'm sure that the problem is not in the php, but has to be in the jquery side. I'm a newbie in jquery and javascript.

I have a form where a user enters a number in a text box (txtTickets). When that number is entered, I need to create an equal number of select boxes. I've found code examples which show how to dynamically add or delete options from a select box, but I have found no examples which deal with this specific scenario. The select options do not depend on user input -- that is, I do not need to populate it dynamically. I need to create them dynamically. Has anyone created something similar to this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm quite new to jQuery and have this working, though I'm fairly sure if this won't be an efficient way to do this. I have a form with each day of the week, and each day has a choice in the number of slots which then shows the correct number of slots for entry for that day.
The form:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="DataTable"><tbody>
<tr>
<th>
Day
</th>
<th>
Slots .....
This is simplified just a little as there are more than the 1 input in an 'Entry Section' (eg .Entry3). The jQuery I have working here is:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#frmSlots1").change(onSelectChange);
});
function onSelectChange(){ .....
That's working fine, except I do want to have 7 days so that would be quite a lot of replicated jQuery code. I am thinking there will be a way to identify the select item with the others so jQuery will know which to adjust without having to spell every single item out. Is there an easy way to achieve this in the above?
i don't know much about JavaScript. I'm working on a PHP file, it has two dropdown boxes 'starttime' and 'endtime' I want it so that if someone selected 9am 'starttime' the 'endtime' should change to 10am onwards. so basiclly gap of 1hr.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for four level connected drop down boxes. Unlike all the scripts I have seen on the internet I need all the options to be available if nothing is selected in the previous drop down. So I want something like combination of connected drop downs and ordinary drop down. If the selection is made, display appropriate options in other drop downs... Hope I'm clear...

We have had this script on our site for a while, and it has always
worked in any browser we have tested. It dynamically fills one select
based on the selection of another select. Unfortunatly, with the
release of NS 7, and the related Mozilla engine, this script no longer
works. Code:
I have 3 select boxes! one is hotel one is destination and one is
country...
if someone clicks selects the country then the destination select box shows
the destinations in that country and further if he chooses destination all
the hotels in in that destination are shown in hotel select
box....(everything is from mysql database)
I don't have a clue how to do this or where to find some readings about it
and I really need that desperatly....
I have a form that starts like this: http:[url].....I would like to have it set so that when they select Atlantis, it pulls out information into the second box, then they select something in there and it creates a list in the last box... does anyone know how to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using alot of Select boxes on one of my PHP/XHTML pages and i need to ensure the user has selected at least one option from the box.I have little experience with Javascript, but I tried this;
function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg)
{
if(elem.nodeValue == null)[code].....
All that is happening is its returning a boolean false regardless of whether or not i select an option.
Each time I dynamically load the options of a select box and then try to do anything with it (such as clicking it or using other JS code on it) I get the following Firefox error:Error: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount = NS_ERROR_DOM_INDEX_SIZE_ERR
I am using the following code:<select id="day" name="day"></select>
<script language="javascript">
var options_list = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31);
selectbox_element = document.getElementById('day');
selectbox_element.options.length = 0; // Remove any previous values.
for (var i = 0; i < options_list.length; i++) {
selectbox_element.options[i] = new Option(options_list[i], options_list[i]);
}
</script>
The "options_list" array is filled beforehand using a simple PHP for() loop.
If I create the exact same options but do so by writing them into the HTML using PHP, then I don't see the error message anymore.
This problem happens in both Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer.
I have a product select page that is really slow to use because 6 dropdowns must be populated and the page reloads after selecting each box, to get the options for the next box.I want to speed it up as follows:
1) User selects one of 50 products from a dropdown list.
2) Page reloads, and all the possible options for the remaining 5 dropdown boxes are now populated (ie. list options all stored client side)
3) User can freely input the remaining 5 dropdowns without the page reloading.
I'm populating a couple of dropdown boxes from an xml file, but can't get them working independently. As you can seehtmwhen you select an item from the first select box (a polyline), itdisplays the corresponding item from the other box (a polygon), too.I found this answer on the google maps forum:"Don't know of an example, but building two select boxes isn'tdifficult: pass into your createMarker() function the relevant flag,and add the data to one of two variables (instead of everything beingadded to select_html as now).You shouldn't need two handleSelected() functions -- both select listscan use the same function because each select box passes itself("this") into the function."which is what I thought I did (making sel_html and select_html) butmaybe the two variables being discussed here are different ones?cross-posted on the google maps forum here and here but not answered.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the below JS code to change up a select box based on what is selected in another select box. IE9 broke this somehow. It still works in other browsers as well as IE8 and IE7.
When you select something in select box A, it properly populates select box B. However when you go back and change select box A again the script stops working completely.
