View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with a Javascript 'Lookup' function.
Basically, I have a select menu 'Customer' which triggers a 3 JS functions, to populate 2 extra select menus.
Using IE Developer Tools, during debugging, I get this error: Expected ';' Error
This relates to either: eval(ajax_CustContact[index].response); OR eval(ajax_CostCentreContact[index].response); (it's a bit random, as sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
I have tried changing the 'custid' to 'custname' to check whether it was an integer causing the problem, but had the same problem.
We have a list of items that each has a different quantity available. So I am going to create a multiple select menu, where they can select several different items. So, how can I make it that when they leave the field it sends all the different ones to the ajax program to build all the appropriate quantity forms?
[Code]...
I have this select menu
<select name='config'>
<option value='cal' selected='selected'>Choose a server config</option>
<option value='cal'>Official CAL Match</option>
<option value='clanbase'>Clanbase time 20 (FF-ON)</option>
<option value='clanbasemr12'>Clanbase MR12 (FF-ON)</option>
<option value='ogl_Advanced_v2'>OGL CS Advanced Server Config V2.0</option>
<option value='ogl_ff_v2'>OGL CS FF Server Config V2.0</option>
<option value='ogl_v2'>OGL CS Server Config V2.0</option>
<option value='pg'>Official ProvingGrounds Server Config</option>
<option value='Public'>PUBLIC Settings</option>
</select>
and I want to make it so when they make a selection, it pops up a window to tell them a little about what settings that config has.
Tried searching for this, but can only find js events to remove an item completely from a drop down box once it's been selected. Example: On a page with many fields for entering different DNS server addresses, I have a drop down menu next to each field, and the values are "Main DNS", "Alternative DNS", "Third DNS", "Least Favorable". Since there can only be one main DNS server chosen, I'd like to know if it's possible for js to prevent that choice from being used more than once. Say there is a Main DNS selected, but the user changes his/her mind and wants a different one. When he selects a second "Main DNS", the first item will return to the drop-down default choice (most likely blank). As stated before, I'll gladly accept a link describing this (or even the proper term to use for a google search).

It returns undefined. I've asked the author but had no response as yet, so I was wondering if anyone else could see why it wouldn't read the select menu value.

This is handy when making dynamic forms. Will reproduce and return a duplicate of an existing select menu. Just pass the id of the select you wish to clone.
function cloneSelect(objid)
{
var sel=document.createElement('select');
obj=document.getElementById(objid);
var len=obj.childNodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<len;i++)
{
if(obj.childNodes.item(i).text)
{
var opt=document.createElement("option");
opt.value=obj.childNodes.item(i).value;
str=document.createTextNode(obj.childNodes.item(i).text);
opt.appendChild(str);
sel.appendChild(opt);
}
}
return sel;
}
I'm looking to create a multiple selection drop down menu that has radio buttons & text. For example
[MENU] <-click
[MENU] <-after click
--------------------
| (x) Selection one |
| (o) Selection two |
| (x) Selection three |
| (o) Selection four |
--------------------
so basically, like a <select> except it has radio selections and you can pick several choices. When you select one, that whole row is highlighted (background color of that row changes). Would I use javascript/dhtml for this? I'm guessing so.
I have a dropdown list:
<select name="select" class="mapMenu" onChange="JumpToIt(this)">
<option selected value="none">Select a Tool --</option>
<option value="javascript:onCreatePrintable()">Print Map</option>
<option value="javascript:onFindLatLong()">Find Lat/Long</option>
</select>
That calls a script:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function JumpToIt(list) {
var newPage = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value
if (newPage != "None") {
location.href=newPage
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Which in turn selects an option from the original dropdown.
Works fine except.....
The options in the select call scripts that open new browser windows,
and when this occurs popup blockers swing into action and block the new
window. When I originally had the javascript calls as plain links such
as [HREF="javascript:onCreatePrintable()"] the popup was not blocked
since it was obvious that user was clicking the link. Now that I'm
trying to save much needed space by putting these links into a
dropdown, the popup blockers are not recognizing the user selection....
I guess. I was thinking the javascript could somehow simulate an
onClick to alleviate the problem. Any suggestions?
I am still having trouble creating the Select Menu option. I got parts
of the correct syntax but it is still not creating the selected carrier
as an option in the parent page.
Help apprecitate,. I currently have it commented out just to show the
line to you better:
function onCarrierSelect() {
var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex ;
var selectCar =
document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text;
var varEl = "<%=varElementName%>";
if (window.opener && !window.opener.close)
var oOption = window.opener.document.createElement("OPTION");
//window.opener.form.[varEl].options.add(oOption);
oOption.innerText =selectCar;
oOption.value =selectCar;
window.close();
}
iam creating a multiselect menu in javascript the code for that is as follows:
"<select id="groups" name="groups[]" size="4" multiple>"
"<option value=x>xyz</option>"
..
..
..
..
"</select>"
iam doing this completely in javascript. Its a dynamic menu. So how can
retrieve the values in javascript itself .
I have this tiny little javascript:
function buildselect() {
parent.center.dpreply.drop.options[0] = new Option('- - - Categories - - -', '');
parent.center.dpreply.drop.options[1] = new Option('asd', Ƈ');
parent.center.dpreply.drop.options[2] = new Option('testing 2', ƈ');
}
which is in one frame and I call it from another frame to fill a select menu using:
window.top.topbar2.buildselect();
In IE6 this works fine, in NS6 nothing is displayed. What am I doing wrong?
Hey does anyone know if it's possible to set focus on a specific option of a select menu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble making JavaScript select an option from a list menu. I created the list menu using an array with php. I.E.
HTML Code:
<? $states = array('NY', 'NJ', 'CA');
for($s = 0; $s <= 2; $s++){?>
<option><? echo $states[$s] ?> </option>
<? } ?>
So then I have some JavaScript code, that automatically determines which state you're in. My question is, how do you get JavaScript to select the state the code has determined you're in? I tried these, to no avail.
document.form.states.value = currentstate;
document.form.states.select= currentstate;
currentstate being the variable that determines the current state you're in.
I'm beginner in jQuery and trying to write "add/remove div object" script.
I found on web some examples how to do it but... there's two problems.
Firstly I want to add some DIV when user choose any value from select list html object and absolutely don't know how to do it...
Secondly - every new DIV object created by select list from html must have (inside of this div) something like "remove me link" which of course should deleted this DIV from page.
say i have a select menu "select1" with several options available. And a color "color" menu with several options for color. Inside my "select1" option list i have a "variety" option.With this option selected i no longer need the "color" menu at all. I need a javascript or jquery that will make it so that when "variety" is selected it then hides the "color" select menu.

How can I do this with jquery. I tried this- code...
And it successfully added "selected" to the correct item. But it wasn't actually selected. How can I do this correctly?
Currently I am using an onchange event on a select menu and it is working fine. But if the user uses any arrow keys the event will not trigger. Is there any way to do that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some javascript generated by php that reads a configuration file to add options to a select menu. This is somewhat irrelevant but... these options are removed from the menu when clicked and data related to the option is shown on the page... and the option gets re-added when the data is closed. I need the option to go back in the correct place/order in the select menu... which wouldn't be a problem if I could initialize the indices of the menu's options. They need to be initialized because when the page is created, saved settings are read and certain options are not shown in the list because they may already be shown according to the settings... meaning... since browsers automatically increment the indices of the options by 1 (starting at 0), if data is closed that was initially open and therefore not in the select menu at first... the key/index associated with that data will likely not match the correct menu order.
<script type="text/javascript">
function addOptionToSelect(selectID,index,offset,val,txt) {
var elSel = document.getElementById(selectID);
[code]....
So that when the data sets initially open are closed (a, c, or d)... they get put in the correct position in the list.it's a little inefficient (OCD lol) but it should work and at worst would only cost a couple of milliseconds of processing time. A solution to this problem might be to load the menu with all options so that their indices are correct... and remove the defaults afterward.

What I want to know is that how is it suppose to be coded so that the user can only select the same amount of buttons as the number from the drop down menu? For example if the user selects the number 3 from the dropdown menu, then if the user clicks on a button, it will highlight the button in a color (lets say green) but the user can only have three buttons selected. If an additional button is clicked then that button would not be selected.
The additional button can only be selected if the user unselects a selected button and then selects the button he wishes. This means that only 3 buttons can be selected at maximum. Also only 3 buttons minimum can be selected, if more or less buttons are selected than the number 3 then it should come up with an alert. Is this suppose to be done in Javascript or Jquery and how can I use css to change the color of the buttons to green if selected or back to grey if unselected?
