Allow The User To Chose One From A Select Form (Choice)?

Feb 12, 2011

I am working on a little project here. I have two arrays (States, Cities) I am trying to allow the user to chose one from a select form (Choice) and then have the values of the chosen array displayed in a alert(). Obviously I could just write an if statement and display the required content depending on whether the value selected == States or Cities. But this project is just a placeholder project for me to figure out one aspect of a much larger project I am working on. And it is important for the result to be chosen dynamically as in the final project I won't know the values that the select field is being filled with.

What I need to do is take the value returned from the select field (Choice) and turn that into the name of the array and display that. If I use this code alert(States); then it returns the values of that array. But like I said I need to be able to dynamically select what array to display based on users input.
alert(document.getElementById("Choice").value); returns the value chosen. How can I take the value chosen and actually display the value of the array with that same name. In other words let JS know that I don't literally want it to display the value chosen but rather the value chosen is the name of the array I want it to display?

Pseudo code
x = document.getElementById("Choice").value;
x is name of array;
alert(x);

Open URL Either In A New Window Or New Tab Based On User's Choice?

Nov 14, 2011

I am facing an issue where a link on my website opens in a new window if you simply click on it. However, if you right click and say open in new window or new tab, it opens the same window (URL) again from where the link is clicked.

Self Service Option is a link and the JSP calls a function getSelfServSite() when the link is clicked. This is how the code flows in my case

function getSelfServSite()
{
getToTheLink("${myConfigInfo.selfServiceURL}");
// this is because the URL is configurable

[Code].....

I want it to go to the right link no matter how the user click it.

Dynamic MCQs - Error Alert If User Selects Wrong Choice?

Nov 2, 2009

I am creating dynamic questions and question's choices (radiobuttons or checkboxes) from database when runtime..after users answer the question, press next button to pass the next questions

For example
1) Question definition
a)choice definition
b)choice definition
c)....

Users have to choose any choices..if not, my system is giving alert, Actually my problem is about checkboxes. I created hidden textboxes, if question choices' type is checkbox. So the last choice definition is name "Other". If user checks the other choice, the hidden textbox is going to be visible. It is all okay until here. I want to give a error alert if user checks the other choice and doesn't fill the textbox when press next question. I don't validate this. How can i do it.

HTML Form - User Select To Set Two Values?

Jul 4, 2005

I need to use Javascript or similar to do this, but not certain. I want to set up a form in HTML to sell photo prints. I'd like the user to be able to select a print size (eg 4x6 or 5x8 or 7x9) and as a result, two values are set:

1. the print size in text (eg &#394;" x 6" print')
2. the price of the print (eg $5.00)

How do I code my form so that two values are set at once, and if the user changes their mind (eg selects 5x8), the two values are set again.

I am new to jquery and I need to make a form that allows a user to select a state and a city that they go to school in. I am using the cascade juqery plug-in [url].

What I want to do is split it up into different files and then load only the file that contains the data for that start/region.

2 Dropdown Menus - Make A Form Where The User Is Only Able To Select An Option From One Of The Drop Down Menus?

Feb 11, 2009

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.

Disable Select Until User Puts Mark In Check Box. Then Enable Select?

Jun 26, 2010

disable select until user puts mark in check box. Then enable select.I have two select box's on a page. The first asks what product, the second is based on the first and presents a list of pdf's according to which product the user selected. (yes, multi dimensional)What I have works fine, but now i need to make the user put a check mark in a check box before the First SELECT box becomes enabled/available.So basically, when they agree, they can get the download.Here are my select boxes.

HTML Code:
<form>
<select name="category" style="width:180px"></select>
<select name="site" style="width:180px" onchange="openLink(this.value)"></select>[code]....

(ignore the The 'open' button. It's there in case the default option is what the user wants, so they don't have reselect via the select box.)

1. How do I disable the select boxes by default on page load?

2. How do I detect that the user has put a tick in and the enable the disabled Select box?

JQuery :: Auto-select A Select Box On Postback With User's Selection

Feb 12, 2010

I have a ColdFusion page with a select drop down list. On submit, I'm storing the value in a cfparam and trying to use jQuery to auto select that particular option. Currently I'm using :contains but this is unacceptable because it selects the last item that contains the cfparam.

$("option:contains('<cfoutput>#form.company_type#</cfoutput>')").attr('selected', 'selected');
Is there something like this:
$("option").equals('<cfoutput>#form.company_type#</cfoutput>')").attr('selected', 'selected');

[Code]....

I willconsider other alternatives to accomplishing my objective.

JQuery :: Select All / Select None *text* Links In A Form That Call A Jquery Function To Select All Or Select No Checkboxes?

Jun 16, 2011

I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:

<head>
$(function() {
//function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....

Persistent User-Select CSS Switcher?

Apr 22, 2009

I've been applying a javascript based, user switch button to a site from this article: [URL] On [URL] (right top menu option).So far, it is working but the user selection is not persistent from page to page. I think it may have something to do with the onload and unload
actions in the attached js file: [URL]

}
window.onload = function(e) {
var cookie = readCookie("style");

[code]....

I was wondering if these functions have to be in the header of every page instead of in a linked file, or if there is something else I'm missing...

Allowing A User To Select A XML File?

Mar 23, 2011

I'm trying to allow a user to select an XML file so that my javascript can parse it and create some pins for a google map. It works fine in Firefox, and by using FireBug I can see that the file is being accessed as expected. IE on the other hand tells me that "'files.0' is null or not an object" on line 68 of address-locator.php...Here's a link to the page: Address Locator (I've attached the files as well in a zip archive)and a sampling of the XML file I'm loading:

HTML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<barList>

Pass User Input From A Form To One Database Field Using Several Form Elements

May 4, 2009

I need to pass user input from a form to one database field. I'm relatively new to JS but the idea I had was to have several form elements and use JS to collect the users input and send all the values through a hidden element. What's happening is the variable names are being sent rather than the values. The code below is only passing to the next page. Limitations: I am editing an intranet site built by a 3rd party so a lot of the files we've been given are encrypted. I cannot change the method to post.

New Table Row On Select With Options For User Permissions

Dec 30, 2009

I'm working on a content management system for my website, and when you add a new user, there is an option to select the users class, such as member, moderator, administrator. I want to make it that when moderator or admin is selected, a new table row appears under it showing options for the users permissions. Also, the PHP script for adding users checks the information for errors. If there are errors, it will display them. All of the form info is posted to the error page. Therefore if moderator or admin is selected, the permissions need to come up as well.
