I have one select, I can say wich element is selected:
<select name="myselect">
<option value="100">A</option>
<option value="101">B</option>
<option value="102">C</option>
</select>
this line will select the option B
myselect.options.selectedIndex = 1;
but, how can I do if I want to select the option B without knowing it´s position?
I mean, I want to select the option B and the value 101, but I don´t know it´s position
any idea?
I'm trying to get the value associated with a selected index in a drop down list.
Here's an example:
HTML Code:
<select name='elem'>
<option id=颼' value='Hello' name='hello' />
<option id=餠' value='Hello' name='hello' />
</select>
My Javascript is as follows - THIS CODE DISPLAYS CONTINUOUS VALUES: 1,2,3...
Code:
alert(elem.options.selectedIndex);
If I were to use the following, I'd get 'undefined' alerts
Code:
alert(elem.options.selectedIndex.value);
The thing is I need the value, not the index.
Any ideas/references?
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the selectedIndex of a select by its value, without going through a loop to check for it.
I know the value of a select, and I want to make the option be selected. But I don't know the selectedIndex. Was hoping to do it without going through a loop to determine the selectedIndex
I am using IE5 and have a select-box with options that have different
colors. Is there a way to read out the style attribute of the
selectedIndex (here: color)? See simple demo script here under...
I have the following snippet I'm trying to make work in Firefox:
Code:
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
No errors are thrown and the correct index is not selected.
However, when I add the following line to the snippet, it magically works fine:
Code:
alert(sBox.options.length);
for(var j=0; j<sBox.options.length; j++){
if(sBox.options[j].value == 68)
sBox.selectedIndex = j;
}
Instead of using alert, I've tried simply assigning sBox.options.length to throwaway variable, but I end up with the same results as the first snippet.
why does this work under FF and only ONCE in IE but the problem remains the same as the firefox only code crashed IE's javascript.so it works only once still.SOLUTION -> changed event from onchange to onclick for my checkbox calling that function !
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using selectedIndex to change an option in a listbox, but I'm finding that the onChange event doesn't fire unless I manually make a selection. Is there any way to effect the change by JS so that the event works?

This is my sample code so far. Currently it only works for "Akali" under the "Select a champion..." dropdown list.
The way it works is, you select a level from 1-10 from the "Select a level..." dropdown list, and then you select Akali from the other dropdown list and her "Health" is calculated by "lvl * 80 + 510" which works perfectly. But the problem is if you change the level that value does not update automaticly. Instead the person using it has change the level to the new level they desire, change the champion and change it back again for it to update. Which normally would be ok, but I will be adding much, much more data to the page and I can't ask people to have to update stuff 10 times just to get accurate figures.
I took this from the w3schools jQuery tutorial and built a button, so ignore the way it currently works. I guessed that with a button it would when pressed it would take the latest, aka current selectedIndex values and all would work fine, and it does actually. But I just wanted to ask if there was any way to keep all the information updated at all times without a button, or maybe a button that will update everything on the website with just one click?
I have a problem determening the preselection of a dropdown list via
JavaScript DOM:
The followin code works fine with IE and Mozilla but does not preselect
the correct element in Opera:
//snip
myCurrentElement =
window.document.getElementById(''role'');
myNewElement =
window.document.getElementsByTagName(''font'')[0];
myNewChildElement =
window.document.getElementsByTagName(''select'')[0];
for (var i = 0; i < optionArray.length; i++)
{
myNewGrandChildElement =
window.document.createElement(''option'');
myNewGrandChildElement.setAttribute(''value'',
optionArray[i]["value"]);
if (optionArray[i]["selected"]!=null)
{
//myNewGrandChildElement.setAttribute(''selected'', ''selected'');
}
myNewGrandChildElementText =
window.document.createTextNode(optionArray[i]["label"]);
myNewGrandChildElement.appendChild(myNewGrandChild ElementText);
myNewChildElement.appendChild(myNewGrandChildEleme nt);
}
myNewElement.appendChild(myNewChildElement);
myCurrentElement.appendChild(myNewElement);
//snip
If the user types "a" then the select box is populated with "Choose An Animal...", then the three three animals beginning with A. So far so good. But if the user selects say Albatross and then types the letter b then the option "Bear" is selected rather than "Choose An Animal". Although the code is sel.selectedIndex = 0; (not 1). How can I force the selected index to 0 when a choice has been made previously? Is this a bug - if so it is the same in IE and FF.

Here is the code:
Is it possible to trigger a change event on a select field when the selectedIndex or val is set with jQuery? I've tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I'm attempting to replace a select field with one of my own design. The issue is if i attached a change event to a select field, when the index is changed it needs to fire that event. Basically if a select field is replaced with my list and a seperate script is set on the select list, I need that seperate script to fire without knowing what it is.

I have an some options like this:

What I want to do, is get the title. I've tried this:
document.MyForm.MySelect.options[document.MyForm.MySelect.selectedIndex].title
That dosn't work. I'm just using the title attribute as a place to hold the information I need. Maybe there is another attribute that would work better for this? How can I get the contents of the attribute?

I have a drop down with alot of options say about 6000 cities and
districts. I need to select all options if user selects "All checkbox".
I use "on change" and a for loop to do this, but it takes a lot of time
to select all these options. Is there any faster way to select all
these options?
function selectAll()
{
var element = document.getElementById("location");
var length = document.getElementById("location").length;
for(var i=0; i<length; i++)
{
element.options[i].selected=true;
}
}
I have two drop down box's in a form, how would I go about changing the
options of the seccond one depending on what option is selected in the
first one?
For example, if there's a drop down box with "a", "b" and "c" as the
options, and another drop down box with "1", "2" and "3" as the
options; then when you select "a" on the first drop down box the values
of the seccond one changes to "a1", "a2" and "a3". This should work for
all the options of the first drop down box.
In JS, how can I change the selected value of a dropdownlist(select options)
I know the value of indexed value of the selected value before it is changed.
I got this simmple function, It stays on onChange on select and on
change it hides all objects with ID equal to select name plus the
optionvalue. It works perfectly in Opera and FF, but IE crashes because
says that options object is null
the problem is in for (optionId in what.options)
It seems that IE does NOT return the list of options, but only some
other objects: language scrollheight, istextedit, currentstyle,
document, and onmouseup
Please can you help me how can I go throuth that cycle? I need to get
the values of all options in select. Thank you
function showHide (what) {
selectedId=what.options.selectedIndex;
selectedValue=what.options[selectedId].value;
selectedObject = document.getElementById(what.name+selectedValue);
selectedObject.className="";
for (optionId in what.options)
{
optionValue=what.options[optionId].value;
if (optionValue) {
optionObject = document.getElementById(what.name+optionValue);
if (optionId!=selectedId) {
optionObject.className="hidden";
}
}
}
