Since its not multiple its not going to show all the 3 options selected, so I created a little button with the easy statement in JQuery it is working, it makes the Select Multiple, it expands the Select and make the items selectable, but on the other hand it does not show the already selected options.
I have a multiple select box and want to be able to select from this box and transfer the selection accross to a div using an "Add" button. I have this working fine but I want to append to the list, rather than replace the list when further selections are made.
I somehow need the function to remember the original selected array and then merge the new selected array and the old array if another sleection is made. This is all I have so far...
function editOptions(action) { var optionsBox = document.getElementById('optionsBox'); var selectedArray = new Array();
While appending the option-elements to the targetselect the original option-elements disappear (exactly at step of line 13). This is unwanted behaviour.
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've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head> $(function() { //function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
We have a list of items that each has a different quantity available. So I am going to create a multiple select menu, where they can select several different items. So, how can I make it that when they leave the field it sends all the different ones to the ajax program to build all the appropriate quantity forms?
Is it possible to reorder the options in a form select box with jQuery, either by drag and drop or by up and down arrows/controls?I have a form select field that users use to choose an item to edit. I'd like users to also be able to reorder items in the select box to change their display order.In the end, I'll likely send order changes to the server via AJAX.
i need to remove some options from a <select> but i need to get it by name
so i have <select name="imageList"> <option>test1</option> <option>test2</option> <option>test3</option> <option>test4</option> <option>test5</option> <option>test6</option>
i know i need to use the .removeOption("test4"); to remove it but i dont know what to use so it selects the imageList <select>
I currently have a form that the checkboxes are automatically populated. There is over 1000 checkboxes in total, 48 of these checkboxes are designed as main topics, when the checkbox for one of these 48 are ticked, it checks all sub catergory checkboxes as well as populates a <select><option> multiple list with its value. When unchecking one of the 48, it unchecks all its sub categories and removes them from the <select><option> multiple list.
The problem I am having is, when i select one of the 48, which populates the multiple list option and checks all sub categories... i go to uncheck one in the sub categories, which successfully unchecks the main category (as it indicates they are not all selected). It also successfully removes the sub category from the multiple select option list and its main category (which became unchecked).
When I go back to check the main category which makes all the sub categories checked... it re-populates the <select><option> multiple list with the values creating duplicates. I need a proper way of when I check a box, it scans the multiple <select><option> list to see if it already exists, then adds it again if it is not there. I have tried the following jquery:
but it seems the length always comes out 0 (zero). I need a fast and efficient way of doing this there is over a 1000 checkboxes that can be checked and need to populate this list.
I'm not sure if my term usage is correct, but using a select form field with various options. I would like that when an option is selected, a php query is performed, and the rest of the form is updated according to the selection based query.
I have two multiple selects on my page. One gets updated via ajax whenever the user filters data (we'll call that select "#select-1"), when they select options from that it then gets moved into the other select (we'll call that "#select-2"). That is all working fine but I'd like to refine it so that they can't select the same data twice.
So, basically, what I'd like to do is add logic within the ajax call to only update the select options in (#select-1) if it does NOT exist in the other select (#select-2).
I have no clue where to even begin with this....do I need to store the val's in an array and then search for each one in the other?
I have a long form in a tabbed interface, where I want to count the non blank fields on each tab (the form fields are text and checkbox inputs and multi & single select fields). The counting function is as follows:
// Input argument is a tab object function countFieldsOnTab(obj){ var counttext = obj.find('input:text[value!=""]').length;
[Code].....
The counts of text, checkbox and multi-select fields works, but the single select count doesn't return what I want. The default option in single selects is a default where the value is blank "<option value="">-- make a selection -- </option>. These will be found as selected options.
How do I count only those options have have a non-blank selection?
I am populating a number of Select boxes on the server-side with a large number of options. I'd like to get the response size down without taxing the client browser too much. What do you think is the most efficient way to approach this problem?
Here are some considerations: The option text/values do not change very often, but could potentially change in the future. The page that holds the select boxes should never be cached, there are other aspects of the page that need to remain fresh. Firebug with YSlow is saying that the primed cache size of the page is 300Kb with all the select dropdowns and options, if I remove the options, the primed cache size of the page is 80Kb. I am considering breaking out the text/value pairs for the select boxes into a separate file that is cache-able calling it "valueTextPairs.js" and referencing it with a query string and some sort of server-generated MD5 hash of the data, so that if any of the values change, the client's cached version will be replaced by the latest version. Like so:[URL]...
Provided I do this, I anticipate that the primed cache size of the page will be reduced down to 80Kb (which I like) -- however, before I take the plunge, I am curious what you all think the performance effect will be?
I know the number of bytes on the wire will be reduced, but will this put a lot of additional pressure on the client's browser because I'd need to traverse the name/value pairs and add the options to the select boxes dynamically on the client end? If it seems reasonable to do this, what jQuery approach would be the most efficient? $('#selectId').html(options) with options = one big string? Adding each child option to the select in a loop? Something else?
Some client end folks are using IE6 so I am trying to tax the browser as little as possible, while also reducing the size of each request, trying to find a happy medium..
How do you folks handle <select> lists with no default option selected? I have mocked up a simple sample but in reality I may have a dozen different categories. (Link:Do you disable all other hidden <select> elements so that their values are not sent in a POST request?
The user must bem select options in this 4 files in order, for example, he must bem select first "First Choice" next "Second Choice"... The options not be same.
I've been playing around with the following code for days already and still in the dark tunnel. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the way I've coded it?
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0); var selOpt = document.createElement('input'); selOpt.setAttribute('type', 'select'); selOpt.option = document.forms[0].Country.option; selOpt.setAttribute('name', 'AnotherCtry'); cell1.appendChild(selOpt);
<edit>What I'm trying to do is to copy the options of the Country to another select which I've allowed the users to 'add' to the current row.</edit>
I have a select and list of options. I have onkeypress event on the select input. As the user types I am trying to match the entered key strokes to the entries in the options and setting the selected value to the first match.
The problem I am facing is this: My options have 10000,0000, 10001, 1111,0001. Say I type 10, with less than one sec delay I consider them as one unit. So I try to find whether there are any entries in the options which starts with 10 and setting the value. But brower is considering the last entered key stroke , in this example 0 and setting the 0000 which is the first match.
Is there any way that I can stop the browser from doing that or any idea?
I've searched the web and every tutorial I can find says the same thing, and I am doing what they say, but it's inexplicably not working. Basically, I'm using a nested object to populate a select box using the new Option() method. Unfortunately, when I include the new Option line, it breaks the loop and does not add anything.
