Adding Another Select Option In Form?
Mar 31, 2010
I'm making a form with some select options, and when clicking an option from the drop down, another option will appear.
The thing is that it seems to work in the most common browsers, but for myself, as a beginner in Javascript, I don't know if it's written the correct way. What could be done better?
Aswel, before I write further to this part of code, I want to know that the value of the second option will pass correctly via the PHP process script afterwards... because initially, the second option is not mentioned in the .html file, it comes in virtually by the javascript.
Html:
Code HTML4Strict:
<form action="link-to-php-process-script" method="post">
<p>
<label for="blabla">Choose: </label>
<select name="blabla" id="choice">
[Code]....

For some reason this doesnt work in IE.
var oSelect = document.createElement('select');
oSelect.name = 'Year[]'
for (var i=1950; i<=2005; i++)
{
var oOption = document.createElement("option");
oOption.text = i;
oOption.value = i;
oSelect.appendChild(oOption);
}
oSelect.add(oOption); works in IE but doesnt in FF. Although, its mentioned here that appendChild applies to OPTION too. How do I get this working on both browsers ?

I have an interesting issue. I use an old, CSS-style tabbed page that sets a style on a <div> containing an <iframe> to display:block if the tab is clicked, and display:none if the tab is not currently selected. This works fine and is not the issue, just background information....In one of the pages that is currently set to display:none, I remove all the options and add new ones based on a data return from an ajax query. If I do this in a more traditional direct DOM manipulating Javascript fashion, everything is OK and the select remains unseen. However, doing this using jQuery causes the select to appear and bleed-through to the <iframe> content that is currently visible.
document.forms[0].test_select.options.length = 0;
document.forms[0].test_select.options[0] = new Option("--- TESTING ---");

I'm currently working with a bit of javascript to dynamically add
<option>s into a select box. My code currently works fine in Internet
Explorer, however in Firefox the dropdown only displays the first
option in the list, and when clicked the other values aren't displayed.
Here is the code;
//ar_options is an array with the option to be displayed in.
for (count=0; count<number_of_options+1; count++)
{
document.forms['enquiry'].enquirytype.options[count] = new
Option(ar_options[count],ar_options[count]);
};
As I said - fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. I did
discover some discussions about this, which were talking about an issue
and workarounds but I couldn't get any of them to work. I have also
tried simply using the document.write() function to output the HTML in
the correct place. However this is just hte same, works in IE but not
Firefox.

I am allowing a user to selected a date to schedule an event and it
seems like the best way to do this is with drop down menus for Year,
month, date. However I would like to make it so when you choose a year
and a month the appropriate days for that month show (i.e. 28 days if
you chose February 2006). I can easily do this with a loop if I can
find out what month the user has selected, but I can't seem to find a
way to get that value. Is there a simple javascript solution to this
problem?

I 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.

Is this possible? Can I use JavaScript to edit a select form's option values given a certain condition?What I am trying to do is when a specific month is selected on my drop down select form (like february for example), to edit the day form so that it deletes teh options for 29, 30 and 31, thus not allowing the user to put in an invalid date.I know its only client side validation and thats fine. I am gonna do server side later.
Code:

function signup (frm)

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...

I am building a form with ColdFusion, HTML, and will be using some Javascript, and I wnt the javascript to tell one form object to display itself when a certain option is chosen from a <select> tag.
<cfquery name="getCategories" datasource="#mydatasource#" username="#myusername#" password="#mypassword#">
SELECT * FROM categories WHERE type = 'cat' ORDER BY id
</cfquery>
<cfform action="engine.cfm" method="post" format="html">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><th colspan="2">New Category</th>
</tr><tr>
<td>Category Type:</td>
<td><select name="type">
<option value=" "></option>
<option value="cat">Main Category</option>
<option value="sub">Sub Category</option>
</select></td></tr>
<tr><td>Name:</td>
<td><cfinput type="text" name="title" size="20" maxlength="100" required="yes" message="A name for the category is required.">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>Parent Category:</td><td>
<cfselect enabled="Yes" name="parentcat" multiple="no" query="getCategories" value="id" display="title" queryPosition="below">
<option value=" "></option></cfselect>
</td></tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" validate="submitonce" validateat="onserver,onsubmit"></td>
</tr></table></cfform>
I want the <cfselect> tag to display on if Sub Category is selected on the first <select> tag. I expect that it will use the onchange attribute but other than that I have no idea.

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 () {

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 am trying to make a form where the user is only able to select an option from one of the drop down menus and if they click both then submit an error should pop up telling them to select just one. Now I have found this code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"'>
<!--
function validateForm(){[code]....
the first problem is that my menu must be named "id[2]2" which causes a problem due to the bracketed 2 and the 2 after. Is there any way around that?the second problem I forsee is that this will only work with 1 drop down box being unselected. I need a code that will give the warning if nothing is selected OR if something is selected in both drop downs.

I'm using Prototype and scriptaculous either, but here it is:
I have two select areas and scripts to transfer items between the two.
Everything works great in FF, but in IE when an option gets removed it
removes the entire select area. Has anyone ever seen something like
this before?

According to [URL] intended way for jQuery to change dynamically the selected option of a dropdown select control isassigningthe desired text instead of the value. I found this way veryinconvenient (data structures usually deal with value codes, not value descriptions) and it seems to work only sometimes.
Trying different options I came out with this approach that seems to do the job so
far:
function setSelect(pID,pSelectedValue)
{
$('#'+pID + ' option:selected').removeAttr('selected');
[Code]....

I have a form that uses jeditable to edit-in-place several fields and select boxes. Everything is working great. Now I need to a way to add a new option to the select list. What I would like is the user select "Add New..." from the select list that would pop-up a dialog window where several fields are filled in. When the form is saved the select field is updated with the new ID and description. I use Facebox for pop-up windows to display notes when the user clicks on a topic. I know Facebox can be used to display a form. It would be ideal to use this ability when creating a new option for the select box.

Im trying to develop an AJAX application which updates a <select> list with a series of <option> tags when the user makes an entry in a field.
Therefore, my ajax application needs to dynamically create <option> tags and append them to the <select> list on the form. I have got this working in all browsers. However, i do not know how to add an "onclick" event handler to each <option> tag that is dynamically created in my javascript code.
Code:
As you can see, i create an option javascript object for each new <option> tag and add it to the <select> list. This works. But how can i also add an "onclick" event handler in the javascript code?

have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user. The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I cannot use the title attribute option as its not compatible with my web browser
