JQuery :: Auto-select A Select Box On Postback With User's Selection
Feb 12, 2010
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');
[Code]....
I willconsider other alternatives to accomplishing my objective.
How do we use javascript to only allow selection from the list in question 3 to be made IF the user selected at least 1 check box in question 2? Below is my code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL]"> <html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head><title> Example </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" /> </head><body><form name="Form"><h1>Survey </h1> <p> Please take a minute to fill in the form below. </p><ol> <li> Question 1.</li> <li> Q2.Which classes have you attended? <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="attend" id="aerobics" value="aerobics"/> <label for="aerobics">Aerobics</label> <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="attend" id="boxing" value="boxing"/> <label for="boxing">Boxing</label> <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="attend" id="circuit" value="circuit"/> <label for="circuit">Circuit Class</label> <br /> <input type="checkbox" name="attend" id="weight" value="weight"/> <label for="weight">Weight Training</label> </li> <li> Q3. Which of the above classes has been beneficial for you? (choose one from the list): <select class="drop" name="dropdown"> <option value="aerobics">Aerobics</option> <option value="boxing">Boxing</option> </select></li></ol></form></body></html>
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.
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).
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?
disable select until user puts mark in check box. Then enable select.I have two select box's on a page. The first asks what product, the second is based on the first and presents a list of pdf's according to which product the user selected. (yes, multi dimensional)What I have works fine, but now i need to make the user put a check mark in a check box before the First SELECT box becomes enabled/available.So basically, when they agree, they can get the download.Here are my select boxes.
HTML Code: <form> <select name="category" style="width:180px"></select> <select name="site" style="width:180px" onchange="openLink(this.value)"></select>[code]....
(ignore the The 'open' button. It's there in case the default option is what the user wants, so they don't have reselect via the select box.)
1. How do I disable the select boxes by default on page load?
2. How do I detect that the user has put a tick in and the enable the disabled Select box?
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]....
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.
JQuery and indeed JavaScript, though have been building sites using CMS since 2000! I am finally taking the plunge and get into learning this stuff, but have come accross my first problem.I have a Yes / No radio button group which controls other elements in the site. When Yes is selected, certain countries appear, and when no, others do.No, since the site has different sections, I would like the radio to defaul to Yes on one section and no on another.What I need to know, is how do I make it default to for example Yes:I have tried the following code so far, but no success:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { var $radios = $('input:radio[name=data[Field][Listing][jr_istour]]');
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:
iam trying to use 5 drop downs in my form for user to select languages and each select drop down should not allow the user to select the same language again and all my drop downs are populating individually from the DB on the page so if "English" is selected for "dropdown 1" then again "drop down 2" should not allow "English" to be selected.
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)
Is there anyway I could control the selected item, and put it on the top of the current selection box. I know for the first and last 4 item, it may not be able to show on the top of the select box. But if I have hundreds of record, I want the selected item to show on the top if they not the first or last 4. And I am not interested in the items before the selected item either.
I have the testing code below.
<HTML><HEAD><SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> function searchSel() { var input=document.getElementById('txt').value.toLowerCase(); var list=document.getElementById('items').options;
I have a tight space requirement here the explaination then code sample. I have a row of inputs and a link with a select set in the between in a div. I need to allow multi selection on the select which is the problem. The select must be within the div and when in non-select state set to 1 when the user is to make a selection I expand the select to 10. This causes the div to expand and any thing under to move in kind. I need a way to allow the select to expnad with out moving expanding the parent div.
How I can select div based on radiobutton selection. I had 3 div with id tag. I renamed it all with sub1, sub2, sub3. I want to make it sub1 as a default .
I have this code that unhides a select box when the user clicks in the parent li containing it. Now I just want the .focus to seem more natural to the user as if they had just clicked in a normal select. As it stands, you have to click on it again to make it active (view the selections..)
In our current application we have a page whose sole purpose for existence is to permit the user to select from a list (subsequent to our login page). We would like to have the list drop down automatically when the visitor arrives at the page, perhaps by using the onLoad event to call the dropdown code. The problem is, the click() event does not drop down the list, as I would have thought it might.
I can successfully fire other methods using the object.method() syntax. Our form is named "test," the select is named "sel1," and the code document.test.sel1.focus() in fact focuses the control, document.test.sel1.selectedIndex=2 selects the third item, etc. Given that, I would have thought that document.test.sel1.click() would cause a similar result to clicking the control, i.e., dropdown of the select. Instead, all that happens is what appears to be a very quick redraw of the selected value's text (i.e., it flickers slightly).
I've tried preceding the call to click() with a call to focus(), and vice versa. No joy. I've Googled on several combinations of search terms, but either there's no information on how to accomplish this or it was deeper than the 3-4 pages I followed down into each of the search results.
Anybody know if it is possible to do what we want, and if so, could you point me to a link where I can find sample source?
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...
I have a multiselet box in which i identify the selected items. Once the user has finished selecting the items it causes the form to be submitted. For this example it just shows the selected indexes. To see the problem. Copy paste the code and save as html file. Then click on an item in the select box.
I am having problem with indentifying the selected items. When only one element is selected, the selected option index does not come up fine. I have no clue as to why this is the case. Code:
I have a form with two select fields (facility[] and lightbox[]), along with a few other text inputs. Both of the select fields allow the user to select multiple options. This is fine for our needs, as long as the user only selects fields from within one select box. As soon as the user decides to make a selection from the other select field, I'd like to permit that, but clear all other selections from the first field.
I have a form with checkboxes and I want a user to be able to select all checkboxes at once and then deselect. I have some code but it only selects and then if I click it doesnt deselect the input items.
What are some other ways to approach this or anyone know why it doesnt work?
I want to capture the text to the clipbroad when i use the mouse left clicking on such text.. ( i want to simplify the step of "Highlight Text" > "Mouse Right Click" > "Copy") Can i use javascript to do this?
I have this reservation form found on the main page of: http://www.avis.com.lb/
As you can see the current month "August" is selected as the default month and so is the year and day (the day is programmed to jump 2 days ahead for the renting of the car...)
However if you look closely (check the screenshot attached) you'll see that the month "August" is repeated twice and so is the year "2009", the current month is repeated twice. What I wanna do is remove the duplication and just auto select the current month without duplicating it.code...
