Get The Value Of The Verbiage In Select Options, Not The Index

Aug 1, 2005

Below is an example. I want the javascript code to pick out "Option 1" or "Option 2", instead of 1 or 2.

I have tried:

document.getElementById('policy').selectedIndex
document.getElementById('policy').name
document.getElementById('policy').value

<select name="policy">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
</select>

Also, I need to have it be in one line like this:

<a href="javascript:void(window.open('policy.php?i=' + document.getElementById('policy').selectedIndex));">Policy</a>

JQuery :: Copying Options Of Select Into Another Select?

Jun 2, 2010

I have 2 html-selects, one as source, the other as target. I want to copy the source-options to the target.

#sel_rel > source
#sel_new_after_rel > target
function openFormAddRel(){
generateFieldset("Release hinzufügen", "reg_edit", "form_add_rel");

[Code]....

While appending the option-elements to the targetselect the original option-elements disappear (exactly at step of line 13). This is unwanted behaviour.

Forms, Select & Z-index

Jan 15, 2003

I have been using dynamic divs with changing z-index's to show content on my screen.
Everything was working fine until I tried to hide a form underneath a picture using z-index. The hiding of the form worked well until I included a "select" option. This would always stay on top, even though the division it was included in had gone to z-index:-1. The picture is at z-index:0.
Any ideas on why this happens?

Is "visibility:hidden|visible" cross browser? The select option does go invisisble along with the rest of the div when I use this method.

Copy Select With Same Options

Feb 21, 2005

I've been playing around with the following code for days already and still in the dark tunnel. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the way I've coded it?

var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var selOpt = document.createElement('input');
selOpt.setAttribute('type', 'select');
selOpt.option = document.forms[0].Country.option;
selOpt.setAttribute('name', 'AnotherCtry');
cell1.appendChild(selOpt);

<edit>What I'm trying to do is to copy the options of the Country to another select which I've allowed the users to 'add' to the current row.</edit>

Change Options In A Select Box?

Dec 31, 2009

I am wanting to change the option of a select box when a customer clicks on a thumbnail image. code...

When the customer clicks on one of the thumbnails to the left, I want it to change the item that is selected on the right.

How do I do this?

I tried to change the innerHTML and it erased everything in the select box, so I'm quite sure that is not the right way.

Could Not Set The Options In Select Dynamically

Jul 2, 2010

I have a select and list of options. I have onkeypress event on the select input. As the user types I am trying to match the entered key strokes to the entries in the options and setting the selected value to the first match.

The problem I am facing is this: My options have 10000,0000, 10001, 1111,0001. Say I type 10, with less than one sec delay I consider them as one unit. So I try to find whether there are any entries in the options which starts with 10 and setting the value. But brower is considering the last entered key stroke , in this example 0 and setting the 0000 which is the first match.

Is there any way that I can stop the browser from doing that or any idea?

Here is the code.

Adding Options To A Select Box?

Jul 30, 2010

I've searched the web and every tutorial I can find says the same thing, and I am doing what they say, but it's inexplicably not working. Basically, I'm using a nested object to populate a select box using the new Option() method. Unfortunately, when I include the new Option line, it breaks the loop and does not add anything.

May 23, 2011

I have 8 pages that are very similar. The only difference is the select options with different group of names on each page. I am using a global script.Is there a way to have a central point with array of names that would write or function in the select option depending on the page.Example below

array_a = 1,2,3,4,5,6

array_c = 201,202,203,204,205,206

Changing <options> Within <select> On Input

Jul 23, 2005

I'm making a <select></select> with lots of <option></option>. It
contains all possible options. Because of the length of the list, I
also have an <input type="text">.

This is what I wish to do:

onKeyDown I want all options that don't contain (or begin with, it
doesn't matter which one) the typed letters to be removed from the
<select>.

My problem is that I don't know of any code to find words and identify
letters.

JQuery :: Using Checkboxes With Select Options?

Jun 17, 2010

I currently have a form that the checkboxes are automatically populated. There is over 1000 checkboxes in total, 48 of these checkboxes are designed as main topics, when the checkbox for one of these 48 are ticked, it checks all sub catergory checkboxes as well as populates a <select><option> multiple list with its value. When unchecking one of the 48, it unchecks all its sub categories and removes them from the <select><option> multiple list.

The problem I am having is, when i select one of the 48, which populates the multiple list option and checks all sub categories... i go to uncheck one in the sub categories, which successfully unchecks the main category (as it indicates they are not all selected). It also successfully removes the sub category from the multiple select option list and its main category (which became unchecked).

When I go back to check the main category which makes all the sub categories checked... it re-populates the <select><option> multiple list with the values creating duplicates. I need a proper way of when I check a box, it scans the multiple <select><option> list to see if it already exists, then adds it again if it is not there. I have tried the following jquery:

$('#elemSelect option[value = thisCheckbox.value]').length > 0)

but it seems the length always comes out 0 (zero). I need a fast and efficient way of doing this there is over a 1000 checkboxes that can be checked and need to populate this list.

Populating SELECT Options From An Array?

Mar 26, 2009

I originally posted this question in the PHP forum and received advice to try here, they said it might be possible using JS and AJAX.I have limited experience with JS and none at all with AJAX.I have an HTML form in which I have a Select field, currently with about 100 options. The form creates an HTML email using formmail.Dependent on the option taken I get other details, eg address, email, telephone, etc.This is begging to be done via a database and PHP.I do not know if this is possible, but could I open the database, MYSQL, and take all the records into an array, open the HTML form and use one of the fields of the array to create the options list, when an option is selected use the other fields in the array to fill in the address, email, etc fields on the form and then use those values as variables to pass to formmail, which is a PHP program.

I thought that if this was possible I would use PHP to populate the array and then get it to call the HTML form where I could hopefully use the array to help complete some of the fields using SELECT.I would like to know if my thoughts are going in the right direction or if I need to go down another track.

AJAX :: Populating A Select Box With Options?

Jan 14, 2010

I have a problem with IE7 (Works fine in FireFox!).

I'm sending a Jquery AJAX POST request to get option values from a PHP script.

The php script returns a bunch of the following:

<option value='x'>xxx</option>

Ajax also sends a value to the PHP script, so if that value matches the option value, the option comes back pre-selected.

On success, the Ajax is to populate the SELECT BOX called 'one', with the data returned from the PHP script.

This works fine in FireFox, but in IE7 I get the following error:

Error: Unexpected call to method or property access.

The full ajax function is as follows:

function getbills(){
var transchk = "";
var tranrelation = $("select#catted_relatesto").val();
var tranrelation = escape(tranrelation);

[Code].....
