JQuery :: Select Dynamically An Option In A Dropdown Select?
Aug 11, 2010
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 am creating a dynamo form but <select and <option does not show.
How do I make sure that they are created on the fly?
jQuery("#dump_data_box").append('<select id="thisid" name="value_name[]">'); and later jQuery("#dump_data_box").append('<option'); /// if (v==k2) jQuery("#dump_data_box").append(' selected '); // jQuery("#dump_data_box").append(' value="'+k2+'">'+k2+'</option>');
I have a function that creates a Select dropdown on the fly:[code]I would guess that I have to add something like: theOption.setAttribute("value","1");I want to be able to call the following function and execute a code base on the selection of the Select Dropdown: [code]I don't know why is not working. I assigned the value 1 to the select dropdown theOption.setAttribute("value","1"); I call the TitleOnChange function myselect. onchange =TitleOnChange;And Finally I indicate that if the value is equal to 1 do.[code]Does anyone knows why this doesn't work and how could I fix it?
I am putting together a form for people to view their profile. The form includes dropdown/select elements to get the users Occupation/Job Title, Organization Type and also their State/Province.
For the profile form, I would like whatever value the user has stored in the database to show up as the "selected" option within the select element.
I want to be able to post to a page, and one of the post values, auto selects one of the values in a drop-down box.So say i post a value 'Red' from a field called 'Colors' to a form, I would like 'Red' to be automatically selected in the 'Colors' select dropdown list.I am working with dropdown lists of many values, so need a way to automate this selection.
Basically, I have written an application that runs a report based on a certain amount of parameters, one of which being date. So, the date selection is a <select></select> dropdown menu and it has the usual in it, today, yesterday, this week, last week etc. The problem is I need it to have a 'Custom' selection to run reports for custom dates. When 'Custom' is selected in the dropdown menu, two text boxes appear underneath with YYYY-MM-DD watermarked in them. I have assembled enough code from around the web to get this to work and it works fine, the problem I have is that when the user clicks off the 'Custom' option and on to a different one, I need the textboxes to disappear again.
Here is the code I am using: <script type="text/javascript"> function showhide(divid){ thediv = document.getElementById(divid); if(thediv.style.display== 'none' ){ thediv.style.display='block' }else{ thediv.style.display='none' }} .....
cna 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'm using a bit of Javascript to display content based on the dropdown selection:http://jsfiddle.net/mcgarriers/wjLXk/However, I would like it when the user selects "show two" that it shows the 2 div elements rather than specifically div2.And for "show three" it would show all 3 divs.
In IE the selection box is created, and there is a drop-down box if I click on the down arrow, but I can't see the OPTION text for each option. The options are invisible, yet the box seems fully functional. I went into the debugger and sure enough the selection box has "OPTION" child nodes with the correct "value" and "text" attributes.
I'm currently working with a bit of javascript to dynamically add <option>s into a select box. My code currently works fine in Internet Explorer, however in Firefox the dropdown only displays the first option in the list, and when clicked the other values aren't displayed.
Here is the code;
//ar_options is an array with the option to be displayed in.
for (count=0; count<number_of_options+1; count++) { document.forms['enquiry'].enquirytype.options[count] = new Option(ar_options[count],ar_options[count]); };
As I said - fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. I did discover some discussions about this, which were talking about an issue and workarounds but I couldn't get any of them to work. I have also tried simply using the document.write() function to output the HTML in the correct place. However this is just hte same, works in IE but not Firefox.
I am trying to extract value of a dropdown on select and use it in a function. Jquery has .each method to loop over matches, but I just need the first match. I could use each and break loop after first run, but there must be a better way..
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?
I am trying to make a form where the user is only able to select an option from one of the drop down menus and if they click both then submit an error should pop up telling them to select just one. Now I have found this code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"'> <!-- function validateForm(){[code]....
the first problem is that my menu must be named "id[2]2" which causes a problem due to the bracketed 2 and the 2 after. Is there any way around that?the second problem I forsee is that this will only work with 1 drop down box being unselected. I need a code that will give the warning if nothing is selected OR if something is selected in both drop downs.
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?
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]....
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.
The field to ask where do you hear about us? I have list of options in there but when the user select "others" i want to input filed popup and want user to filed in the info.
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.
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 am using jQuery next() and prev() to navigate inside <select><option> tags. problem is I am using <optgroup> too and can't find a way to make it work
