JQuery :: Display Correct Option Text In Select Tag?
Jan 5, 2012
i trying to select a <select> option programatically. i can see in firebug that the value of the select tag change but not it's text. how could i select a option by displaying it's text?
i try
$(mySelect).val(optionValue);
and
$(mySelect).find('option[value='1']").attr("selected","selected");
I am trying to display a rel of each option as they are selected into a div below it . There are several selects of classProductAvailability on the page. When one of the selects changes, I'd like the value of the rel of the selected option to display.At first it seems to work, but only if you start by changing the last pull down menu. The trouble seems to be in the"select.ProductAvailability option:selected", this needs to be written for this instance, not all of the selects of that class on the page. How do I write that, I've tried$(this+" option:selected") but it won't take.
I am building a form with ColdFusion, HTML, and will be using some Javascript, and I wnt the javascript to tell one form object to display itself when a certain option is chosen from a <select> tag.
<cfquery name="getCategories" datasource="#mydatasource#" username="#myusername#" password="#mypassword#"> SELECT * FROM categories WHERE type = 'cat' ORDER BY id </cfquery> <cfform action="engine.cfm" method="post" format="html"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><th colspan="2">New Category</th> </tr><tr> <td>Category Type:</td> <td><select name="type"> <option value=" "></option> <option value="cat">Main Category</option> <option value="sub">Sub Category</option> </select></td></tr> <tr><td>Name:</td> <td><cfinput type="text" name="title" size="20" maxlength="100" required="yes" message="A name for the category is required."> </td></tr> <tr><td>Parent Category:</td><td> <cfselect enabled="Yes" name="parentcat" multiple="no" query="getCategories" value="id" display="title" queryPosition="below"> <option value=" "></option></cfselect> </td></tr><tr> <td colspan="2"><cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" validate="submitonce" validateat="onserver,onsubmit"></td> </tr></table></cfform>
I want the <cfselect> tag to display on if Sub Category is selected on the first <select> tag. I expect that it will use the onchange attribute but other than that I have no idea.
I've worked out how to get the value from a select option tag, but can't work out how to get the text inside the option tags. Here is the code I am using to get the value attribute from the option tag..
I'm trying to get a select box to display text from a database in a div tag from the select box populated by a while loop that also pulls from the database. The only way I can do this is from a javascript written by sending it over to a second page and I need it on just one page. Here is my code below:
I have written code for select options one. In that option one of the option is to select others. When i select others automatically the cursor should goto others text area box.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>
The function "addPhrase" is where i know i'm having the difficulty - so for now I've forced it to show one value only:
'// The form name is AMANDA
function addPhrase() { document.AMANDA.js_strMemberMail.value = document.AMANDA.js_strPreDefCatList.value + ", " ;}
What I think I want is to be able to build up a string of values and write them out to the textarea (hence the ", "). With the option that more can be added, without deleting what's currently there.
I have developed my own tools for serializing form data for asynchronous calls to the server (AJAX). I have consider many times that it would be useful that when a select element has both text and option values to send both values to the server. I have thought about a couple of different ways of doing this. But first let me give an example so that there is less chance of misunderstanding.Suppose I have a drop-down list that is a select element with an option list wherein each member of the option list has both a value and a text string. as in Code:
I have been studying php for a while now and i know that, i am now starting php oop and that going well but i have never done anything like this. Anway i am creating a booking system which at the end of the process asks who supplied your voucher which they then select a supplier.
The issue i have is my client wants it so if groupon is selected then an input text box should appear so that the user can input a security code from groupon.
what would be the best way to have a hidden array of possible text directed at a textarea and then if something is not within that array "onfocus", a certain select option is chosen within that form?
I'm using the following code to remove an option from a select control based on a selection in a different select control and the option text in the select option that is being removed. The code works as I want it to, but I would prefer to use the option value for identifying the option to remove instead of using the option text. I've tried several different ways to do this, but can not find the proper syntax.
I'm trying to create a simple <select> menu in which the options are not text, but images. How can I go about doing this? I tried <option value="x"><img src="xx" /></option> with no success...If no solution exists with HTML, is there a solution with JavaScript or any other language?
According to [URL] intended way for jQuery to change dynamically the selected option of a dropdown select control isassigningthe desired text instead of the value. I found this way veryinconvenient (data structures usually deal with value codes, not value descriptions) and it seems to work only sometimes.
Trying different options I came out with this approach that seems to do the job so far:
function setSelect(pID,pSelectedValue) { $('#'+pID + ' option:selected').removeAttr('selected');
I've created a script that should display a certain image based on the day of the week and the time of the day. After uploading the page to the site I receive no errors, however I'm not getting the display I should be seeing. It always returns the image from the final "else" statement. I'm thinking the problem is that I have two "&&" operators in each "if" statement, and I don't have the proper syntax, or perhaps I'm not writing it properly. Code:
I have a form that uses jeditable to edit-in-place several fields and select boxes. Everything is working great. Now I need to a way to add a new option to the select list. What I would like is the user select "Add New..." from the select list that would pop-up a dialog window where several fields are filled in. When the form is saved the select field is updated with the new ID and description. I use Facebox for pop-up windows to display notes when the user clicks on a topic. I know Facebox can be used to display a form. It would be ideal to use this ability when creating a new option for the 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]....
[URL] In this link example, you will see the Facebook/Twitter share buttons on the upper, left-side. When you attempt to share this page to your Facebook friends, by default, it shows a random image on the page, when IT SHOULD be showing the post avatar of the bicycle wheel. How can we modify the script to capture this bicycle wheel avatar by default?
I'm using Prototype and scriptaculous either, but here it is:
I have two select areas and scripts to transfer items between the two. Everything works great in FF, but in IE when an option gets removed it removes the entire select area. Has anyone ever seen something like this before?
[URL]..Default.aspx I have both a carousel with images andalso animagemap(notnot published yet)with coords that when clicked i want to write to a cookie file which image or image map coordinate was clicked, so when they are hyperlinked to the next page the correct div opens based on first reading the cookie written to on the previous page. Anybody have a basic script for reading and writing to a cookie using jquery in this fashion?
I'm iterating through each option of a select, and I need to selectively remove some options based on their value. Here's a sample option (I don't control the markup)
<OPTION selected value=7>Compliance</OPTION> $("select[title='MyTitle'] > OPTION").filter(function(){ var v=$(this).attr['value']; //other stuff
I've build a module in jQuery that converts a normal select box to a nice stylized list.When I click the anchor tag, it drops down the list with some JS. What I can't figure out is how to implement the keyboard. For example, if I wanted to drop down in the list, I could start typing.Could someone lead me in the right direction?I can't quite figure out what to google for.
