how to go about populating empty fields from a drop down list of different options. Eg. A user selects from a HUGE choice from the drop down list, and this fills their preferences 1-4. If 1 is full, then it populates 2 if another choice is clicked, and so on.
- the third text input in the form is requesting for the user's favorite color. I need it to validate the data to either be a defined color or a hexadecimal value and then turn the background into that color upon submission. However, it's not validating correctly... When a correct value is entered it works fine, it's the error message for an invalid entry that's not appearing.
- I need to save all of the user's input into a cookie which will automatically load their preferences the next time they visit the site(time of day message, first & last name and bg color).
I've been beating my head against a wall for a few days trying to get this working. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu where a user selects one item and another select list is shown, then another and another (and so on). Here is my JS, it *should* be taking the ID of the div, comparing it to the selected value and then showing another div by settings it's class property to visible:
iam trying to use 5 drop downs in my form for user to select languages and each select drop down should not allow the user to select the same language again and all my drop downs are populating individually from the DB on the page so if "English" is selected for "dropdown 1" then again "drop down 2" should not allow "English" to be selected.
I am maintaining a site which is written in ASP. Now i have to create some new pages.
In one page we have a table with many rows. Now, I want to enable or disable(showing and hiding also) 2 rows of this table depending upon the value selected by the user from a drop down list.
I am trying to create a drop down list which depend to the value selected from the previous drop down list. I can add it without problem, but If I change again the value of the first drop down list I would like to remove the previous drop down list generated from the first value. If I try to remove it when I create the element, it even does not create the element, the remove element function seems to work because when you click on the remove link it works.
I have a table that has parts with multiple characteristics. Part Number, Height, Width, Capacity, Price, Etc. I would like to have a drop downs for all of these values, when a user selects one of these values it will filter the results into a list. Ex. user selects a part that has a Height of 6 and width of 10 it will only list those parts. As I said earlier, I have a script that will give me all the parts, however I am not able to make the onchange list parts with multiple values.
I have a page that displays a list of people playing in a tournament. I need to be able to generate a Leaderboard based on which players are manually selected by the admin. Next to each person there is a drop-down list. An admin can go in and select a "slot" that a player should be in on the leader board from 1 to 8, or leave it blank if none. What I need to figure out how to do is the following, when a change event happens on a drop-down list, and say the value 5 is selected, I need to check to make sure that 5 is not already selected in one of the other players drop-down lists, in other words, that the 5th leaderboard slot is not already full. if it is, display an error message and make them change that one first. how to do that with jQuery? I'm thinking it will have something to do with the each() function, but not sure exactly how the logic should work.
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]......
I am creating an on-line survey. I want the user to have a list of choices of say 10 items that are radio buttons. They need to rank their preference. They click on preference 1, that option is removed from the top list (choices) and appears below in a list called 'Your preferences', you keep looping until all of your preferences are made. Does this make sense?
Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, How To Store Adobe AIR Application Preferences Using JavaScript.
Great article. Just one question - why did you choose xml and not sqlite database? Don't you think using a sqlite database is a more stable way of storing the preferences?
MY PROBLEM: OK, if you load this up into your browser, you can see I have two lines of text that show/hide themselves by clicking on the other line. I know how to set the cookie name and the two different values ("show_hide_cookie=line1", "show_hide_cookie=line2") and I can see that they are there when I view my browser's cookies. But I've spent hours trying to figure out the javascript code to get it to read the cookie and remember the preferences. Right now of course, if you click on the first line and then refresh your browser, it resets the second line back to the first line.
How can I create a Javascript drop down list File? I want to have a webpage that contain a dropdownlist. But i want the items and values of that drop down lists to be stored in a seperate javascript file, So that my webpage call that JS file whenever user click on the DDList.
Basically what i am interested in is to place all my drop down list Items manually in the javascripting file and then on the main page there will be links from alphabet A-Z so when the user click on alphabet A the dropdown list will only show the containing items start with alphabet A....
Hope this makes sense!! The reason why is because there is a long list of items and i dont want to put them inside my page.
I would like to use a control on a WebForm that acts like an editable DropDownList control. The user should be able to select a value from the list of choices, or type in a new value if no predefined choice is applicable.
It doesn't appear to me that a DropDownList control is editable.
How would you suggest I accomplish what I want to do?
I have what I think is a fairly simple problem, but I cannot figure this out. I have a SELECT object on my page. When the user performs a certain action, I want the focus to be placed in the drop-down field AND the actual list of drop-down objects to appear (i.e. simulating that the user has clicked in that field). Ideally, of course, the currently selected entry should be highlighted. Listed below is a snippet of sample code. If the focus is currently in the text field and the user clicks on the "Test" button, I would like the entire drop-down menu to appear. I have not had any success with the "fireEvent" method or the "click" method (only "focus" seems to work). Code:
The last two lines of the following code is not setting the value of the selector unless i debug it within firebug. when I set a breakpoint on those two lines it shows the val in the parentheses and it will set them correctly, but if I do not debug the script then it doesn't set them.
populateLists: function(executionLevel, contractor, program) { var _chart = this; $.each($('select#contractor option'), function() { if ($(this).val() != "all") {
Hello i use a javascript to use drop down lists so i display the appropriate products to user.Atm no matter the user option i display 3 drop down lists in whole products.Lets say the drop down lists are like manufacturer/order by/sochet.

My js looks like this
<script type="text/javascript"> function showUser() {
I have my link [url]. Basically I have two buttons one Add Single and one Add Double. When I press Add Single I want to have a new row with the single drop down list. On the other hand when I press the Add Double I want to have a new row with the two drop drop down list.
I know that this is very basic to most of you JS Guru's out there, but I am stumped. I have found dozens of tuts on this, but can't seem to find a VERY simple basic version of it. This is what I want, actually my client wants. I want to have a select list that gives the options of countries. Then upon selection this changes the drop down list of the states/provinces listed. So when I click on Europe it shows the different sections of Europe, and US it shows the states (I'm sorry I don't know what Europe calls their equivalent of a state), etc.
how to get the values from my drop down list and none of the methods that i have seen actually work with my code.I have read that it is possible only using javascript? but i have also seen people say that it doable with php? i have tried both methods and i still cannot get the values to be entered into my database(All of the other fields enter except the fields that i have to select using a drop down [code]
I have a link that i'd like to add a url parameter onto the end and would like to get the value of the url parameter from a selected item in a drop down list box.
I submit via a link <a href> i don't know if thats any use. When the list is at nothing (the first opinon) I need an alert box to say select a size and to return false.
I'm a kind of beginner in this thing but I really need something to be done I want the option of a drop-down list to change the content of a paragraph <p> it worked but I can't select another option after I choose one....this is the code...
<script> function change() { if (document.getElementById('list').value = 'Change')
