Get A Select Box To Display Text From A Database In A Div Tag From The Select Box Populated By A While Loop
Jan 21, 2011
I'm trying to get a select box to display text from a database in a div tag from the select box populated by a while loop that also pulls from the database. The only way I can do this is from a javascript written by sending it over to a second page and I need it on just one page. Here is my code below:
i am trying to pass text from one select box to another select box. The logic is if 10 are added, no more passing must happen. Also if an item is already added, it mustn't be added again.I am using the for loop to check the existence of an item but it is not working: what am i doing wrong?
Code: function PassSelectValues(){ //pass values from select boxes to select boxes var counter;[code]....
why isn't counter incrementing at all? The alert message box does appear saying item exists but the item gets added anyway.
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]....
i trying to select a <select> option programatically. i can see in firebug that the value of the select tag change but not it's text. how could i select a option by displaying it's text?
i try $(mySelect).val(optionValue); and $(mySelect).find('option[value='1']").attr("selected","selected");
I'm trying to create a simple <select> menu in which the options are not text, but images. How can I go about doing this? I tried <option value="x"><img src="xx" /></option> with no success...If no solution exists with HTML, is there a solution with JavaScript or any other language?
I am having an issue getting my select boxes working in IE. My current situation is that I have 2 select boxes, 1 for Styles and another for Substyles. Not all Styles have a Substyle, but each Style has a different Substyle, so when should happen is when you select a Style AJAX go and gets all of the matching Substyes for that Style.This actually works in Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and so on, but does not work in IE.Just to clarify, all of my PHP is working 100% and as far as I am aware my HTML is also fine, I have done some checks with the JavaScript and im 80% sure that the problem lies on line 47.
I am brand new to Java Script and it makes no since at all to me.Ive looked up Java Script onCHange and really have no idea how to implement what I need.I have a select drop down filled by my database. What I need to happen is when someone makes a selection then the page will gather the information for a separate database and display in in a table.
I would like to have a jsp page with a form consisting of several inputs and selects. When page loads for the first time, there is only one select (with values taken from database), but after clicking on link "add", the subsequent selects are added (using JavaScript and DOM). It seems to be pretty easy task, but I'm not sure how to populate the newly created select with data.
I am creating a page that has a to do list. Each item has been created with a for loop in a class method. So this makes multiple drop down boxes on the page. I need to know how to NAME them (I guess?) so they are unique and how to reference the selections via jQuery.
It seems like it would be very simple, however after a couple hours of searching on the 'Net I cannot seem to find any resources and it would seem that I can't be the only person who dynamically makes several drop-downs with the same options.
Basically the user would see a button on a form that would be something like "add contact"...then a window opens that shows a search window (want to implement something like [URL]) and it would show all the contacts available in the contacts table...then the user selects the contact to add (via a link).
I think i could get it this far, but how would i then pass that $row to the main form so that i can use the fields from that $row in the contacts table on my form?
I want to start javascript for fun, so I gave myself an assignment to use a for loop that will display "Hello world!" 6 times in the 6 different heading tags. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to display it in the remaining 5 tags. I have it in the first one.
Here's my code: <html><head></head><body> <script type = "text/javascript"> var is = "<h1>Hello world!</h1>"; for (i= 0; i<= 5; i++){ document.write(is);} </script></body></html>
So I am working on a project to take an integer that the user gives, and then get all the squares and cubes of all the numbers before that to the number given. It displays it in a text area. Maybe I am just lost for the moment, but It just prints the number that I give with the square root and cube instead of starting from 1, and ended on the integer I give.
It is a familiar story. It works in Firefox, but not in IE. I want to dynamically populate a select box with an array of values based upon the value selected from another select. The arrays are defined when the page is loaded.
function selArr(whichArr) { var optStr; var cnt = whichArr.length; for (var i=0; i<cnt; i++) { optStr += '<option value="'+whichArr[i].k+' '+whichArr[i].v+'">'+whichArr[i].k+' '+whichArr[i].v+'</option> '} document.getElementById('sel2').innerHTML = optStr;}
I have run into this before where IE ignores any calls to a function from an option value. However, the problem is if I call the function from the select tag: <select name="someArray" onchange="selArr[this.value);">
this.value is treated not as the defined array but as a var value, as if is enclosed by quotes.
I've managed to fill a select elements option with a javascript array. Now I want it to display what the user selected in an alert window when he/she hits submit. code...
I am pretty sure this is a javascript function. I want it where when a person chooses an option in a select box, it displays content. Here is the page it'd be on. [URL]. Once they select something, in the black area in the middle bottom, it'd show a description of that class. How would I do something like this?
New to Javascripting, new to forum. I searched the forum, and tried to adapt, to no avail. I am building a store and want users to be able to see how two items look together. I have it working, but it uses a drop down. I would like to display many items and have the user click on one "image", from the display of "top" images, to display it on top, and from another section of "bottom" images, click another image to display it on bottom. For instance to see what one plant would look like in different vases. [URL] If I could be picky, is there a way to make it all happen in the BODY of the page? I use DW and a template.
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
PHP 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
PHP Code:
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?
PHP Code:
1. Pseudo code 2. x = document.getElementById("Choice").value;
I'm a newbie. I have just working with jQuery for 2 hours. For example I have a drop down list like this:
<select> <option>Fruit</option> <option>Color</option> </select> If I select Fruit, another drop down list appers and give me some selections: <select>
Does anyone have a script, that can display a random image of the images I select?:confused:I'm going to use it for a type of captcha. I think this would be easier in javascript, so yes I am in the right section.
I'm using onchange display to hide/show form elements depending on the value of a select box. It works perfectly well (I actually really adore it) for one select box, but I have another select box which I'd like to act similarly.
<head>
But when I go to add a second select (obj,id1,id2,id3,id4,id5,id6) with new "ifs" and id's, etc and so forth, neither work.
Is there any way to fuse them and get a second select to work the same?
I have 9 select menus that are populated by a php for loop. Each has a numeric value that is displayed base on the selection (which I have working).I can not figure out how to sum all of these values and display them in a <div> tag.what I have thus far:
// Part of a function that creates drop down boxes <select name="$name" onchange="document.getElementById('cost_$name').firstChild.nodeValue = this.options[this.selectedIndex].getAttribute('cost_$name')">
