How I populate fields of a form with the data that relates to an item from a list box that user selects
Example:
List box contains item1, item2, item3
User selects item2 so want data connected to item2 displayed so it can be edited and updated.
I have have some values stored in javascript variables. I have a
<select> dropdown list whose options correspond to these values. I want
to be able to select an item on the dropdown list based on the value of
the javascript variable.
Let's say this is my list and my variable:
<select id='popup'>
<option value="default">--Please Choose a saying--</option>
<option value="hello">Hello</option>
<option value="goodbye">Goodbye</option>
</select>
var input = "hello";
Is there a way to select the 2nd option using using that variable
value? Something like:
var popup = document.getElementById("popup");
popup.selectedItem = input;
I tried to use it in my app and I only have the first letter of each item in the dropdown list. So it is very difficult to select the good option I have search any information in these forums about this trouble, but no success.
[Code]...
perhaps this code is wrong and json format not good ? so, the first item of dropdown list is fine in the input box, but all items with only one letter in dropdown list. I hope any body can spend a few time and help me a little to understand that is wrong, as I could terminate my app.
I have got a basic Unordered list of Options and I want to be able to click on one of the options and have that option added as a value to a Form Value Input on my submit form.Users will have a choice of around 200 options and I need them to just add one of them with a click to the submit form.I do not want to use a 'select' box to list the options,it has to be a visiable unordered list.

On this page (just a demo) I can’t get IE6 to auto-select the first item
in the dynamically-generated drop-down menus. Well, that isn’t entirely
true. Sometimes it works properly, but never on the first try. When it
fails, the error message it gives is:
"Cannot set the selected property. Unspecified error."
FF2, IE7, and OP9 all behave as expected. I have tried a variety of
workarounds to no avail. I don't have an exhaustive list of everything I
have tried, but it seems like I have tried a hundred ways of setting the
"selected" attribute.
The page uses jQuery 1.1.2. Currently the page is using...
$("#select-how option:first-child").attr("selected","selected");
....to auto-select the first item in the list.
Ok so let's say I have this dropdown with a list of these items:
PALCO
TRIBUNA
ORO
And in a button on the page I want to send it one of those names, let's say I send it ORO, and through Javascript select that in the dropdown list. How is this done? Do I have to iterate through everything, and how?
I've been beating my head against a wall for a few days trying to get this working. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu where a user selects one item and another select list is shown, then another and another (and so on). Here is my JS, it *should* be taking the ID of the div, comparing it to the selected value and then showing another div by settings it's class property to visible:

I have created a control that mimics a tree view control (i.e. expandable and collapsable items). In order to facilitate this functionality I am using a select list and using selectList.Add to add child options to their parent when the parent is double clicked, which works fine, however in IE6 after doing that the focus of the the select list jumps to the first item in the control, even though the item that was double clicked is still highlighted when I scroll back down to it. The only way I can get this code to work is by adding an alert after I have added the new item to the list, which is not a workable solution. The code works fine in IE7 and later. Anybody know a work around? I have pasted some code that highlights the issue below, just scroll down the list a while and double click one of the lower options, focus will jump back up to the top of the list. code...

I am executing a simple example of selecting the item from the dropdown list by using the value of a textbox. The idea is: If I have a dropdown list, suppose with values red, blue, green, yellow and so on. And a simple html textbox. Now suppose if I type red into the textbox then leave the textbox then automatically the dropdown list value should be selected to red value if it contains red value item.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to write a select control and use a Javascript function to
handle all click events on the control. Under certain circumstances I
also wish to prevent the dropdown's list from being rendered.
Here is a sample showing what I am _unsuccessfully_ trying to do.
I am having a problem where I want to give user an option to select more entry from one dropdown.
Example:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label>
<select name="service" id="service">
<option value="service1">service 1</option>
<option value="service2">service2</option>
<option value="service3">service3</option>
<option value="service4">service 4</option>
<option value="service5">srvice5</option>
<option value="service6">service 6</option>
</select>
</label>
</form>
In this case, I want to select service 3, service 4, service 5 and service 6. I don't know how to create a javascript function for this.
Open SELECT dropdown list automatically. I want to simulate a user click or ctrl + up/down on a select drop down list. I tried various ways using create event object and click on the list but list does not drop down.
View 3 Replies View Relatedcna anyone tell me how to use the Select = "selected" option for a simple dropdown. for example when someone chooses c it will have a code like <option selected="">c</option> (am I doing it right, well if you got a firebug some site with dropdowns offers that option) so can anyone tell me how that works. I will be using it for a purpose of just selecting parts on my array, well incorporating it

I need to know when the select element's dropdown list is opened (as when the user clicks on the arrow or does ALT-downarrow from the keyboard). Similarly, I need to known when the dropdown list closes.
The closing of the dropdown list can happen without changing the dropdown, hence the onchange event is not a sure way to determine that the dropdown list closed.
Is this possible in Internet Explorer?

i have a menu and i would like to change the color of the Categories which have subcategories only. In my example the basic categories are: News , Announcements , Contact and Career. Only Announcements and Career categories have subcategories. So i would like those two to turn green. The fact is that the list items include a href ,so i don't know how to access those "a href" combined with "this".

I have two dropdown lists with the second one being dependent on the selection in the first.
Options in list 1: 1,3 or 4
List two should be enabled when 3 or 4 is selected in list 1.
So far so good, managed to get it to work with only one set of lists, but I actually have 18 of those sets in this form:
<select name="fw[$i]" id="fw[$i]">
<option value="1">FWH</option>
<option value="3">links</option>

I'm not that adept in javascript programming, more like a trial and error guy, how has hit the wall with this problem.
I have code for autosuggestion while typing in a text box written in Javascript and PHP. When I start typing a number I get a list of matching numbers and I'm able to select one of them with the mouse click. Now I have an other text box which should display a list of numbers based on the selection from the first textbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:

This one should be easy. In fact, it was working for a long time as far as I know. Then I upgraded from jQuery 1.4.4 to 1.7.1 and a few things stopped working. (This is according to my client; it's possible it's been broken for a long time.)
So a customer logs in and sees his/her registration information. Name, address, phone number, etc... It gets this information from a MySQL database. For the customer's home address, there's a dropdown for the state (MA, NH, etc...) Rather than displaying the default specified in the HTML code, I have a bit of jQuery code that is supposed to change the dropdown selection to the user's home state as stored in the MySQL database.
Unfortunately, nothing happens. It rather than changing to the user's home state, it just displays the default state (AL, the first alphabetically).
[Code]..
I verified that $row['state'] contains valid data by outputting it as HTML on the page (my test data outputs "MA"). And I'm reasonably sure that this used to work in the past.
<select id="myselect">
<option value="a">test</option>
<option value="b">test</option>
<option value="c">test</option>
</select>
i need to somehow get the index of the item with value "c" (so it will return 2). how to do so?
