I have an event that when it occurs, I would like a specific select menu to change to the first option. Sounds simple, right? Well, I can't get it to work in IE 7, and I'm tearing my hair out. I've tried:
var modelid = document.getElementById('modelid'); modelid.options[0].selected = true; (this generates a "options.0 is null or not an object" error)
Is there a way to override the default behaviour for single selects which makes it impossible to unselect a selected item?
What i need is: when someone clicks on an option, if it isn't selected is should be selected, but if it's already selected then it should be unselected.
I know how to fire a JavaScript event with the onsubmit code.What I was wondering if it's possible to have a different JavaScript code fire when one changes the value in a select option.For example, something like this:
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');
If I select "Other", a text box pops up and I can type in something and hit Add Item and it will add it to the drop down box, but the selection will stay at "Other". How do I make it select the item I just added?
The field to ask where do you hear about us? I have list of options in there but when the user select "others" i want to input filed popup and want user to filed in the info.
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 modify a contact form but I do not know why the Dropbox has been duplicated?! I think the issue comes from script.js but I do not know how to fix it?! [URL] as you can see there are two select drop box while I have created only one in demo.php the other issue happens in Google chrome (Please open the link with chrome)but not in firefox and IE and is overlapping the textarea name="message" on the input type="text".
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> $(function() { //function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
I'm trying to figure out how to preselect a country in a form, I have this so far: -------------------- <form name=order> <select name=country> <option value="aaa">aaa</option> <option value="aaa">bbb</option> <option value="bbb">ccc</option> </select> </form> <script> document.order.country.selectedIndex=1; </script> ---------------------
But I would like to be able to preselect a country based on the option value. Something like (this doesn't work obviously):
document.order.country.selected.option='bbb'
The default value for the country will be supplied by a previous form, so it changes depending on what has been selected in the previous form.
After an hour of hacking the closest I could get to detecting the current value (Not key, but value) of select statement that works both in Firefox and IE is :
Which is SICK, but I would be more than happy with it, except @ %$*@ Internet Explorer selectElem.selectedIndex is somehow always 0 (ZERO). Now, for my purpose, I am desprate enough to accept just getting the default (initially 'selected') index of my drop down (select). Is there anyway to do that?
I've got a <textarea> and I want to put some default text in it.....easy enough...... but when the user clicks on the box (to put their own text) I want the default text to be highlighted.
How can I get the text highlighted when the user clicks on the textbox area?
I have a select list #technology. Due to some back end processing it's default value is "0" (Please Select) I am trying to write a validation rule to make it required. The problem I'm having is that if you hit submit when it shows "Please Select" which has the value="0" then make a different selection it's not removing the error msg. Also if you hit submit multiple times when it is showing Please Select it just keeps adding the error msg
I have a problem with the following code, when run on IE6 the value for opt_sel is null but on Mozilla or konqueror the value is the option selected (as expected). I have tried several books on the matter(and google), but they seem to indicate that what i am trying to do should work.. Code:
I'm having two Slecet Option inputs. When both are chosen i want to compare the two make sure they ar ethe same. Its for confirmation purposes.How would i get the value of a selected option. (I don't know which option is chosen, I don't know the id of the option, i dont know the value of the option. I just now the id n name of the select)
<select name="whatever"> {Loop here to output many options} </select>
If one selects Merge, then i want another form displayed with input fileds etc, but if one select Nuke then a different form will be displayed and if one selects the last option then both above forms will be displayed. Can anyone show me a script (i.e. javascript) that does just that or care for a example?
How do you folks handle <select> lists with no default option selected? I have mocked up a simple sample but in reality I may have a dozen different categories. (Link:Do you disable all other hidden <select> elements so that their values are not sent in a POST request?
I have a single select dropdown in my application which is hidden for one type of user group. Before a user from this group can save any data, I have to explicitly select the default value of this dropdown for him as this dropdown is not visible to him.
Issue: In IE, this default value doesn't get selected as it is not populated but works fine in Firefox. Is this a jQuery bug?
