How do i select an option in a combo box? i have tried looking on the internet but dont really know what i should be searching for. what i want to happen is that when a function is called
a line of code will select a specific option in a combo box. something like:
//excuse the dodgy syntax
function select_combo() {
cb_1.select[3] //where option 3 will be selected (or 4 if first index
is 0)
}
I am trying to replace the entire page when the user selects adifferent option in a combo box. The code I have works for the firstiteration. However, It fails everytime there after.I went throughfirebug and it appears after the first refresh it never triggers theready() method.My Code is,
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 have 3 combo boxes/select option statements that are Months, Days, and Years. I want to set each combo box to today's date. How would I do that through Javascript?
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?
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?
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');
What I have got is a form that a user has to fill out and submit (when validated all variables are stored in a session and emailed after multiple forms are completed), currently I have radio buttons, text boxes and a combo box/ drop down list (for location). All parts are working fine and validating fine. My problem is to do with the combo box//ddl. I have successfully validated the ddl so the user must select a location onsubmit and it is added to session and passed fine.At the moment the ddl only has cities or towns in it however as I would like to include different states and possibly different countries I need a code that validates the state first and then only gives the cities/towns that are in that state (otherwise my ddl would be to large). I can do this with links however I can't seem to do it in a form.
First I have a combo box populated from mysql db. Then onChange of the first combo box then I would like to populate my second combo box. I am trying out the jquery method as below. The first combo box id is $clientID. The problem I dont get the alert method shown that means is not working.
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.
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'm trying to search for the correct code to make my form work. I have 3 select boxes - one with 2 options, one with 8 options, and the last with 2 options... All of this adds up to 32 different url paths. Can anyone tell me how to get this done?This is what I have so far: (and yea, I know I suck... I honestly have absolutely NO clue)
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 have a problem with the following code, when run on IE6 the value for opt_sel is null but on Mozilla or konqueror the value is the option selected (as expected). I have tried several books on the matter(and google), but they seem to indicate that what i am trying to do should work.. Code:
I'm having two Slecet Option inputs. When both are chosen i want to compare the two make sure they ar ethe same. Its for confirmation purposes.How would i get the value of a selected option. (I don't know which option is chosen, I don't know the id of the option, i dont know the value of the option. I just now the id n name of the select)
<select name="whatever"> {Loop here to output many options} </select>
If one selects Merge, then i want another form displayed with input fileds etc, but if one select Nuke then a different form will be displayed and if one selects the last option then both above forms will be displayed. Can anyone show me a script (i.e. javascript) that does just that or care for a example?
Hi!, I want to fix via javascript the combo width to a fix value. I'd like to implement a kind of ALT / TITLE function to show the entire option when the text is longer than the combo width...
In the code below I want to alert the selected option of select. In Mozilla the code works (If I choose "3" alerts it). In IE alerts: nothing appear --------------------- <script> function hi() { d = document.getElementById("day").value; alert(d); } </script> <select id=day onchange="hi();"> <option>0 <option>1 <option>2 <option>3 <option>4 </select> ---------------------
As far as my understanding of HTML DOM aka DHTML goes, is that if the DOM structure of HTML document is changed programmatically using JavaScript in the browser, it immediately gets reflected in the page's view. For example, if following code is executed on say a click of a button
var f = document.getElementById("f1"); // f1 is id of a form var i = document.createElement("input"); i.setAttribute("type", "text"); f.appendChild(i);
the page immediately shows the new textbox under that form. But in the following code, this doesnt happen.
<form id="f1"> <select id="cars"> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="fiat">Fiat</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select> </form> <script> // Gets executed say on click of some button var c = document.getElementById("cars"); c.options[1].setAttribute("selected", "selected"); // doesnt work c.options[1].selected = true; // works </script>
the option in combo box remains same. I checked in Firebug that the attribute is added properly. Using the selected attribute works. Why so?
I have a bunch of select statements in a form, and each select statement has an onchange="do_something(this)" in it, and this works nicely..except when there is only ONE OPTION in a given select. It seems you cannot 'onchange' a single option!
Well, that is reasonable.
The trouble is I have no way of selecting it since the form itself is a dummy: The form action is basically to submit to a new script with hidden variables carefully set to get the desired action depending on the last option selected Code:
