Setting A <SELECT> Option As 'selected'
Sep 22, 2004
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?

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 drop down with approx. 200 <option> elements, each option element has a value such as value="1", value="23", etc. Given a list of values, such as 5, 34, 43, 68, 123, how can pass those values to a function and then insert selected for each corresponding element?

I'm assuming it's possible to change the selected option of SELECT box with JavaScript based on the value and not index, but my searches have turned up nothing that seem to address this. It may be my searching terms, but if someone knows how to do this, could you post some code samples?

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 tried using the following code to check if the user has selected a particular option in a single select drop down has been selected, then add a class to a div to display it but it's not working and I can't figure out why. I've tried a ton of other things to but this one seems to make the most sense.
if ($("#existing-subscriber option[value='Yes']").attr('select')) {
$(".information").toggleClass("show");
}

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 trying to create a dropdown menu through createElement, browser is IE.
The problem is setting one of the options as "selected".
So far I have:
options = editor.config[txt];
el = document.createElement("select");
for (var i in options) {
var op = document.createElement("option");
op.appendChild(document.createTextNode(i));
op.value = options[i];
el.appendChild(op);
}
I get my dropdown menu, but how do I set selected?
I´ve tried
op.selected = true
without success.

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.
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("select.ProductAvailability").change(function () {

Here's what I'm trying to do is...If you select a color, then select a shape, the color option would return to the 'selected' position.If you select a shape, then select a size, the shape option would return to the 'selected' position and so on. The end result is I would like to have only one item selected from one of the select boxes, with the other two select boxes returned to the selected position.The code is presented here.

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..
Can I use something like this?

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 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?
