Not a seasonsed JS user; I would like to have a number of dropdown forms on a page and have JS sum the total value up as the user makes their way down the page and selects values. I've googled the daylights out of this and come up with a proof of concept below - if I could get it to work right, I would apply to a larger page. It will live on a Sharepoint server so I can't just use PHP to handle the summing.

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I'm a real noob trying to understand Ajax and JavaScript.
Therefore I need a (simple) explanation how to pass multiple selections from a list to my Ajax-script - if there are any simple solutions.
I'm not using any kind of framework - just plain Ajax/JS, PHP and of course HTML.
I need help setting up a form, I want to do some pretty neat things: It will say: What countries do you want to visit? [FIELD] Part 1: I want that when a user starts typing into the field, it will suggest under things that match what you have typed so far, sort of like facebook search does. So I would need a list of recognized country names. Now for example imagine I was using this, and I typed in M, it would list under a max of 5 valid entries begining with M, if I typed in Me, it would list the ones begining with Me, if I typed in Mex, it would show Mexico. Now the user would have to click this drop down suggestion to choose it.Part2: I want once a user clicks on a suggestion, it will "pop under" the input box or somewhere, with a "x" beside it to remove it. The user can now type in another country, and when it is clicked it too appears as a sort of "icon" under the input box or somewhere, with an "x" beside it. Clicking the x removes the country from the current list of countries. Once he is done, he goes on to other fields and the selected countries remain visible. Once a user submits the form, I want to get only the countries that were visible to him.
**An alternative idea, if this one is too complicated, would be to have a drop list with all countries in it, and once a person clicks one, it will remain and a "+" sign will appear under it. When pressed, another dropdown menu will appear so the person can choose another country from the second drop down, etc. OFC all selected countries can have an X to remove them. Idk how to do this either. how to do something like this, where do you recommend I start? Any ideas? I tried searching but I'm not sure what to call this so I couldn't find anything in the search.
I'd like to limit the number of selections a user can make in a
multiple select listbox. I have a note on the interface to say that
only x no. of items should be selected and I check the number server
side but I'd like to implement some javascript to do the same on the
client side. Ideally I'd like the javascript to work in IE5+ and
Netscape6+.
When using a select combo box that has multiple selections enabled, my server was not seeing it as an array. It was only seeing it as a single variable value. All I did to correct this was add [] and the end of the name attribute.
Ex.
[code]<select name="categories[]" id="categories" multiple="multiple"
size="4">[/code]
Now my LAMP server sees this variable as an array in the $_REQUEST
Wonder if there is a way to have my Drop-Down box selections create individule single row/dual colume tables for each item that was selected from the drop-down box. An example would be:
1: I selected 3 items from my drop-down box at one time (my drop-down box allows multiple selections).
2: I click a button call "Create Template" and three new single row/dual colume tables are created with the names if the items.
Here is what I have so far, but need a little help. Notice I have added the three tables in to show how it should look but this is for information only as these should be created automaticaly.

My form is like the above
<form method="post" name="publishResult" onsubmit="return g(this);">
<select id="options1" name="se1" >
<option value="0" >-- Grade --</option>
<option value="A+">A+</option>
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="A-">A-</option>
[Code]....
onsubmit="return g(this);" here i want to get all the selected value of the 3dropdown list.
Is it possible to pull multiple variables from a single dropdown menu selection?
Example:
I have this:
function material_choices_menu() /* Provides Specific Gravity for various materials */{
var data = "Material <select name='material'>";
data += "<option value='.926'>CYCOLAC MG47 (ABS)</option>";
data += "<option value='1.050'>CYCOLAC MG47MD (ABS)</option>";
data += "<option value='.958'>CYCOLAC T (ABS)</option>";
data += "</select>";
document.write(data);
}
I'd like to have multiple option values:
function material_choices_menu() /* Provides Specific Gravity for various materials */{
var data = "Material <select name='material'>";
data += "<option value1='.926', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC MG47 (ABS)</option>";
data += "<option value1='1.050', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC MG47MD (ABS)</option>";
data += "<option value1='.958', option value2='.005-.008'>CYCOLAC T (ABS)</option>";
data += "</select>";
document.write(data);
}
I plan to use the first value in some math formulas to determine weights and the rest of the values will just be shown as data for the user and/or possibly a link to the datasheet for the material selected.
How to write javascript validation for multiple dropdown list in asp.net
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm populating a couple of dropdown boxes from an xml file, but can't get them working independently. As you can seehtmwhen you select an item from the first select box (a polyline), itdisplays the corresponding item from the other box (a polygon), too.I found this answer on the google maps forum:"Don't know of an example, but building two select boxes isn'tdifficult: pass into your createMarker() function the relevant flag,and add the data to one of two variables (instead of everything beingadded to select_html as now).You shouldn't need two handleSelected() functions -- both select listscan use the same function because each select box passes itself("this") into the function."which is what I thought I did (making sel_html and select_html) butmaybe the two variables being discussed here are different ones?cross-posted on the google maps forum here and here but not answered.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Custom Dropdown Lists that converts Option tags to UL tags with jQuery. The Dropdown List is working perfectly as long as theres just one on each page.I'm trying to figure out how i can have multiple Dropdown Lists (in this case two) on the same page, and how to populate the second Dropdown List (with say Cities from the Country) based on the selection made in the first Dropdown.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe second menu is populating correctly from the first menu. The third menu doesn't work because it is not pulling the cat1 & cat2 values. I suspect it is the "checkNew" function, which I tried (with limited Javascript knowledge) to copy and alter from the "checkSelected" function.

Dependable dropdown lists (4 level)
1 Level dropdown list
2 Level dropdown list
3 Level dropdown list
4 Level dropdown list
Every dropdown list is depends on another dropdown list
For example if I select a value from 1 dropdown list then 2 dropdown list will appear. And then I select a value from 2 dropdown list then 3 dropdown list will appear. And if I select a value from 3 dropdown list then 4 dropdown list. Multiple selection will be enable. It means every dropdown list may have hundreds of values. Thus, In this situation of multiple selection of values I analyze that, use of dropdown isn't suitable because if a dropdown value has 500 related values then these 500 values disturb the page design.
I've got two dropdown boxes ('language' and 'word'). When the submit button is pressed, I want a div to show with the right word in it. I can do this fine with one dropdown box, but two has got me stumped.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am developing a messaging service between members of my site. I am developing this with asp.net mvc. When a user goes to the SendMessage view to send a message to another member, there is a dropdown list which presents the sender with all the members of the site, which he or she will pick as the recipient. However, i don't want it to be a dropdown, i want it to be a text box, where a user types in the first couple of letters of a name, and the dropdown appears then with only the members which have the same couple of letters. This is basically like every email system out there (facebook and gmail have it just like that). And after they chose one, they can select another one in the same textbox, just separated by a comma or something like that. Basically, how do i achieve that in javascript? I'm not even sure what that functionality is called, that's why i had to explain it properly.

With every other numberOfMonths I tried, it shows only 2010. Is there some dependency I don't know about between these settings that means something has to be done differently?

I'm running into a problem with having a bunch of different selected areas in my editable document in mozilla. I can't seem to get them all unselected. I can get one or two to unselect but not all of them.
This happens after I have been using comparePoint in a loop that loops through the whole document. I have used collapse on the selection I made but it leaves other text still selected. :confused: Is there a quick way to unselect all the selections in mozilla?
We have a site we are working on in which we use drop downs for easy search functions. (We also have an advanced seach which use check boxes) But... the client has been asking us if we can make a muliple selection happen from this quick search. There are only like 20 options to choose from but a scrolling text box will look awfull there.. as the drop downs work nicely.
Has anyone ever seen a muliple selection drop down? Or something like it?
I have some code that has a comments box and 2 radio buttons that ask if you want to be contacted about your comments. If you select "Yes", you get another set of radio buttons that ask you to choose a method of contact. When you choose a method, that selected methods value is parsed to the top of the textarea field, placing the comment below. I pretty much have it working, however, if I enter a comment in the "Comments" field, select "Yes", then select "email" and change to "Phone Morning", it concatnates the values in the textarea box instead of replacing the contact method value while still retaining the comment entered below.Also, if at all possible, I wanted to clear only the contact method value out of the textarea field and leave only the comment when you go back and click the "No" radio button.

My current project is available for perusal in order to assist me at: [URL]As you can see, I make it so that once the product type is selected, you can then select a wattage. This dependent drop-down works, however I want it so that when I select a value in the left-hand side (wattage), then the one on the right will offer a pre-defined value that replaces the wattage I have.
For example, a GU-10 in 'Type of Lamp' offers a 50, 35 and 20 watt bulb in 'Current Lighting Products'. In 'Energy Efficient Products', it offers 5 and 3. I wish to make a statement somewhere so that if they select 50 on the left, it selects 5 on the right. If they select 35 on the left, it select 3 on the right.
I would also like it to do multiple offers, so that if they select say, a 35 of the MR-16, I want the right hand side to offer both 5 and 3. The only way I can think of doing this is via a lot of 'IF' statements.

I am trying to have it save menu selections, I was thinking either cookies or storing it in the window thing but I am unsure of how to do these.

var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);

I am in the process of developing a calculator for some of my colleagues to use. One of the variables within the calculations is called PMH. I want to determine the value of PMH based on which checkboxes are ticked. Each checkbox has a different value. If the checkbox is not ticked, then the value of each option is 1 and obviously more than one checkbox may be ticked.
I have created the checbox code:
<td><input type="checkbox" name="PMH" value="1.6" /> Smoker<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="PMH" value="0.4" /> CCF<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="PMH" value="0.5" /> Pulmonary Oedema / Cirrhosis<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="PMH" value="0.8" /> COAD<br /></td>
But I have no idea on how to calculate what I need for var PMH.
