I have a drop down menu with options. Is there a faster way to display a tool tip based on the value of the <option> tag other than having to manually set title="" for each <option> tag?
View 3 RepliesCan anyone suggest a way to show more info about individual options on a select tag.
Something like a hover bubble or tooltip.
some tools or plugin (free) that let me create easily menus for web environments with jquery? Something like thisOpenCube
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.

In JS can you set the value of a SELECT dropdown box by text value, not index value?
The following will set the SELECT box by the index value, selecting the second value in the dropdown box
var varyear = 1
document.myform.year.options[varyear].selected = true;
however i want to set it like this...
var varyear = 2006
document.myform.year.options[varyear].selected = true;
...to set the SELECTED value to 2006...which doesn't work
I have a little bit of a complex script where I have a <SELECT> that is pre-loaded with options that are loaded from a database in PHP. But, when this page is loaded the <SELECT> is disabled, and is only enabled when an onChange() is triggered on another <SELECT> that is situated on the same page.
Anyway, when I enable the <SELECT> I would like to have one of the <OPTION>'s selected (instead of having a blank <SELECT>).
The line of JavaScript that I have so far (but isn't really getting me anywhere) to try to select an <OPTION> when the <SELECT> is enabled is as follows...
document.forms['edit_consultant'].elements[con_elements[j]].options[selectedIndex].value = consultants[conid][j];
..where I am guessing that the 'options[selectedIndex].value' will select the <OPTION> with the value of consultants[conid][j] to be selected.
n the following script, I am trying to set selection to a select
option element, that is newly created within the script. It works fine
on IE installations on Windows 2000 and some XP machines. But on some
XP machines, the selection doesn't happen and it defaults to the first
element in the options array. Has anybody come across this problem ?
Any known workarounds?
I'm trying set an option with a certain value to selected. I'm using this: $('#mySelect option[value="' + myValue + '"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); This has worked in another piece of code I wrote, but now IE 6 and 8 are throwing an error (in the debug bar). It's something similar to this: "The selected attribute couldn't be set. Unknown error." Anyone ever experienced something similar?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the following snippet I'm trying to make work in Firefox:
Code:
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
No errors are thrown and the correct index is not selected.
However, when I add the following line to the snippet, it magically works fine:
Code:
alert(sBox.options.length);
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
Instead of using alert, I've tried simply assigning sBox.options.length to throwaway variable, but I end up with the same results as the first snippet.
I apologize for posting again - Joern, the developer who built this plugin made a suggestion but I never heard back on a follow up question. I am using validate on a fairly big project. The problem I'm running into is that our e-commerce environment is writing a fairly cumbersome value into each input's name field. It's basically pointing to the form handler. This itself makes it difficult to build rules because the name attribute can be 100 characters long. It's also possible that the path to the form handler will change which is troublesome.
The ideal solution is to have set the validation rules and messaging on the id of the input. Joern indicated that this would be possible, but I need some help going about it.
I have set if sentence when form is validate like: {if $smarty.request.action == "form1"}
{nocache}
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
document.location='replyfile';

How to send after validation is performed? 3. This should mean sending form when name="form1" is clicked. Is it if sentence correct set with name form1?
Application is: [URL]

I've got the following code snippet in a function to set a coockie based on whether or not the user selects a checkbox. Using an alert the cookie text looks fine but when I go to retrieve the values the only one it can find is the value for user. I've a few different things and none of them seem to work. I'm getting the same thing in both IE and Firefox. The only cookie listed is the 'user' with the proper expiration date. Code:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using PHP / MySQL / javascript (very new to javascript)I'm looking to set the value of a textfield based on the name (NOT value) of a drop-down. The drop-down is created dynamically from a recordset (see code below):
<select name="mainStory" id="mainStory">
<?php
do {
?>[code].....
Is there a way to use Javascript to read a txt file, take all the words in the txt file one by one, then create a cookie out of each of them? Ideally, I'm also looking to create a prompt which asks the user if they want to set the cookie each time.The purpose of this is that I'm looking to create some basic browser based games (with information stored in txt files), so it doesn't have to be a script which works online. Everything is just run offline. If it makes a difference, it can also be, say, a doc file rather than a txt.I understand the idea of using activeX & IE to read the txt file, and after looking through this forum, I have found a way to load the entire txt into a form. I have not been able to advance my idea beyond that however.I've used Javascript before many times for webpages, but it generally comes down to me copying and pasting code, then just changing a few keys words. What I'm quickly trying to say there is that I can use js, but I'm not that much of an expert.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is something you could do without JavaScript, but anyways... I want to make a drop down menu that changes a form based on the option, like if I chose Option1, it would show Form1 and so on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm taking a beginning javascript class and have been trying to figure out one last part of a homework assignment and am just not seeing how to work it out. What I'm having trouble with is doing the text verification. When a user selects an option from the select list they then need to type in the text area given. If the user doesn't type the word selected in the list then an error message should appear under the text area. If you look at my code you'll see that I have the text_check() function doing the verification. I can get it to work when there is only one option but once I add the other two it stops working. I've tried if... else and other variations, but can't seem to nail it down.

I need to change the value of a variable on a <select> question.
Code:
Currently the variable choses either 1or 2 so when I execute the function it will sum the value ie..3,6 ect.
I would like it to add the value in the text part of the option ie.. 5000,10000,15000.
I realize if I could I could change the value to be the same as the text value but the backend of this software needs the values to stay 1 or 2.
I was trying to do an "if else" statement but I am not sure how to format the syntax to work:

Can anyone shed some light on how I could do this? Maybe a link to a "how-to" (if there is one out there)?
I have a content slider called "Codaslider" (ver 1.1 I believe) setup, and using CSS I have an absolute positioned image hovering above the slider at all times. The effect is what I want, where I have a static image of my company's product hovering above the content slider, and the background images slide around showing various features and such.
I would like to make it where the customer can click anywhere within the bounds of the content slider (including on top of the static image), and be able to follow the link for the image in the content slider.
For example, if the background image shows "New Features" or something similar, I want the customer to be able to click anywhere and get to the "New Features" page.
So basically, is there a way to dynamically set the URL that the static overlaid image points to, based on what page the content slider is on?
Here is the javascript that setups up the content slider:
Code javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
var theInt = null;
var $crosslink, $navthumb;

Is there some example js that shows how to populate a text field on a form, based upon what option is chosen in a select form field? The options can be hardcoded and it would be great to also have a default if js is off on the client side.code...
