Menu Selection Populates Text Field

May 1, 2009

I have the following code I picked up which tries to fill in a text field with data depending on a user's menu item selection. I place this code in the header:

Code:
var colors = new Array();
colors["apple"] = "red";
colors["grape"] = "purple";
colors["milk"] = "white";
colors["cheese"] = "yellow";
colors["chicken"] = "white";
colors["beef"] = "red"; .....

var groups = new Array();
groups["apple"] = "fruit";
groups["grape"] = "fruit";
groups["milk"] = "diary";
groups["cheese"] = "diary";
groups["chicken"] = "meat";
groups["beef"] = "meat";

function printColorAndGroup(){
var value = document.getElementByName('food').options[document.getElementByName('food').selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementByName('food_group').value = groups[text];
document.getElementByName('food_color').value = colors[text];
}

I then use the following html in the body:
Code:
Food:
<select name="food" onchange="printColorAndGroup()">
<option>apple</option>
<option>grape</option>
<option>milk</option>
<option>cheese</option>
<option>chicken</option>
<option>beef</option>
</select>

Group:
<input type="text" name="food_group">
Color:
<input type="text" name="food_color">
But when I run this nothing happens...
Here's the page [URL]. None of the code above is colored... looks like I'm using the wrong tags here. Which tags should I use to post this stuff correctly?

Menu Populates Based On Select Field Entry?

Aug 10, 2011

I am looking to build as basic as possible, a form that has 3 select dropdowns that have predetermined options. The user will select the first option and based on that option the second will populate and based on that, the third one will give the last option. Now, when the last one is selected, i need a div or a paragraph displaying information to be displayed.So here's the framework.

Option 1 = fruit or vegitables of which fruit is selected is selected by the user
Option 2 = Apples, Grapes, and pears of which apples is then selected
Option 3 = Red, Green and Yellow of which Green is selected.

Once green is selected, I need a description about the green aple to be displayed.

PHP Drop Down List Selection Populates Second Dropdown List Or Text Box?

Jul 13, 2011

I have been struggling on a bit of code for a while now. I need to populate a second drop down list (Region) based upon the selection of the first (County).I have found a piece of code that works on its own and have adapted to suit my needs - see below. However, when I drop it into my main page the javascript is not working. It's because of the formObject but I just don't know enough to resolve this! Furthermore, I need the textboxes the user has already completed in the form to retain their value once the javascript kicks in as the completed form will submit to a database.This piece of code is working well . . . .

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');[code]......

Appear / Disappear Text Box Based On Selection Of Dropdown Menu

Apr 12, 2011

I have a Javascript function that allows the display of a textbox upon selecting an option from a dropdown menu. In my case when a user selects listbox as the option, the text box appears. I want the same thing to happen when another option (checkbox) is selected. when I repeat the JAVAscript code, the first textbox(listbox's textbox) appears irrespective of which option(listbox, checkbox) I select. I want to be able to appear/disappear only the respective textbox. Here is my code.

<html>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function showfield(name){
if(name=='lstbox')document.getElementById('div1').style.display="block";
else document.getElementById('div1').style.display="none";
}
function hidefield() {

Dropdown Menu Showing Different Text Box Dependent On Selection

Mar 12, 2010

I don't want to show a table with ALL the contact details on. I want to offer a dropdown menu or similar with the countries inside it, and then dependent on the country selected, the relevant contact information would be displayed in a text box alongside. How can I create this and - equally importantly - integrate it into a WordPress page?

Show/Hide Text And Form Field Based On Drop Down Selection

Jul 20, 2005

I'm trying to show/hide a simple piece of text and a text field on a
form based on what choice is made from a drop down box.

<select name="dropdown" size="1">
<option selected value="">Please make a selection</option>
<option value="1">Choice 1</option>
<option value="2">Choice 2</option>
<option value="3">Choice 3</option>
<option value="4">Other</option>
</select>

i.e. if Choice 2 is selected I'd like to display a new <tr> with the
following:

<tr>
<td>New text field:</td>
<td><input name="newField" type="text size="20"></td>
</tr>

if any other choices are made, I don't want to display anything.
I've tried several onchange() functions but can't achieve what I'm
looking for.

Auto-Populate Text Field Based On DropDown List Selection

Dec 3, 2009

I have set up my website quite some time ago that has served its purpose very well, however I will now be adding an order form functionality. So far, by reading books and traversing forums, I have been able to develop a page where the user
1.Enters data into the required fields, that is then submitted to a MYSQL database via PHP,
2.Can retrieve orders that are stored in the database,
3.Delete orders that are stored in the database.

I have wamp installed on my computer as the webserver. I have also incorporated two drop down lists that both retrieve their values from tables within the database. The first drop down list retrieves the Australian States that I have stored in a table, and once the submit button is pressed, it stores the State that is selected to a separate table. This drop down list functions as it should. An extract from "From Place an order.php"

<?php
$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'tingling');
if (!$dbcnx) {
exit('<p>Unable to connect to the ' .
'database server at this time.</p>');
} .....

The second drop down list retrieves product names from a table that contains products and their prices. What I would like to happen, is that when the product is selected from this drop down list, a text box is automatically filled with its corresponding price. I had this drop down list working as per the "States" drop down list, but could not get it to auto populate the text field. I got some assistance from a friend and was able to get the text box to auto populate with its corresponding price, however when the page was submitted to the database, the "id" number of the product name from the drop down list was stored, and not the product name.

<select name="productSelection" onchange = "getProductDetails(this)">
<option selected value="1product">Select Product</option>
<?php
$products1 = @mysql_query('SELECT * FROM products');
if (!$products1) {
exit('<p>Unable to obtain author list from the database.</p>'); .....

OnClick Adds Text Field To Page (Limit 3 - Each Text Field Displays Different Text)

Nov 22, 2010

I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right

<script language="javascript">
fields = 1;
function addMore() {
if (fields = 1) {
document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>";

Second Menu Appear Based On Selection In First One

I have three dropdown menus (side dish, veggie, fruit). Based on the side dish selected (fruit or veggie), I'd like the fruit or veggie menu to appear automatically, while the one not selected stays hidden. Below is the code for the HTML part. I have no idea how to get started with the javascript.

Change Second Menu Depending On Selection In First

Feb 15, 2009

Basically I have a form, with two simple select menus, both identical except for different name values to post:

HTML Code:
<p>Make current?</p>
<select name="is_current">
<option value="yes">Yes</option>
<option value="no">No</option>
</select>
<br />

<p>Put in list?</p>
<select name="in_list">
<option value="yes">Yes</option>
<option value="no">No</option>
</select>

Some PHP code governs whether the "yes" or the "no" option in either menu gets the 'default' "selected="selected" showing, based on database information. For instance, in the first menu, if the page deals with a case where the the first "is_current" value is indeed current, then the PHP code will write the default "selected="selected" for "yes":

HTML Code:
<select name="is_current">
<option value=yes" selected="selected">Yes</option>
<option value=no">No</option>
</select>

If the page deals with a case where the value isn't current, the selected="selected" code will be written for the "no" value instead. The same goes for the second select menu. Now, the logic of my situation requires that, if the user selects "Yes" in the first "is_current" drop-down, then only "Yes" should be available to select in the second "in_list" menu. Anyway, I don't know javascript very well, but I found a function that seemed to be able to do this.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
function updateLevel() {
var limit = Number(this.value);
// find the next select element
var selects = this.form.getElementsByTagName('select');
var select;
for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
if (selects[i] === this && selects[i+1]) {
select = selects[i+1];
break; .....

(Apparently the script has to be put or called just before the </body> tag at the end of the page.) Then the select menus are recast as:

HTML Code:
<p>Make current?</p>
<select name="is_current" id="in_list">
<option value="1">Yes</option>
<option value="2">No</option>
</select>
<br />

<p>Put in list?</p>
<select name="in_list">
<option value="1">Yes</option>
<option value="2">No</option>
</select>

Now this appears to work, up to a point. If the user selects "Yes" for the first "is_current" selection, then only "Yes" becomes available for selection in the second "in_list" menu. A posted value of "1" represents "yes", and a value of "2" represents "no". Except, in Firefox, the javascript somehow overrules the default selected="selected" code. That is, the source code in the browser is correct, but the javascript draws it incorrectly.

For instance, say the database/PHP has drawn selected="selected" for the value "yes" in the second menu. Even though I can see that the source code is OK in the browser, the javascript will make the browser show a "No" selection as the initial default. This happens in Firefox, though not in Safari, and I haven't tested other browsers yet. This may be obvious but I'm not sure of javascript.

JQuery :: Selection Field + Disabling Fields

Mar 18, 2011

The purpose of the jQuery code is that when you select an item from the select field that other items need to be disabled(works correct in all conditions) and that at the same time text in corresponding divs' text are altered. The thing is that the script basically works.. however when you've made a selection only the disabling works everytime but the divs are only updated once, so you need to refresh the page if you want to do it again..

Only Permit Selection From One Select Field In Form?

Aug 19, 2011

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.

Reservation System - Selection Per DropDown Menu

Mar 4, 2010

I am creating a website for a friend where the user cant can choose what jobs they want to do while a event. There a are more than 300 people involved so I found a script that worked fine but it used some checkboxes, and I want to use drop down menu (one drop down menu for every day of the event). With the checkboxes it worked fine but when I modify the part to insert the dropdown menu and that on my webpage I choose a job and then I send it and it tells me that I haven't selected anything.

This is the PHP code of the webpage:
<?php include("login.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Tickets</title>
<style>
* {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: arial;
}
</style>
<script>
function reserveSeats() {
var selectedList = getSelectedList('Reserve Seats');
if (confirm('Do you want to reserve selected seat/s ' + selectedList + '?')) { .....
