I have the following function to pre-select an option in a select box. If I leave the alert in, the selection is made and everything is fine. If I take out the alert, it works sometimes - other times it leaves the select box on the first option. I don't want to leave the alert in.
Is there a method I can call to click on a particular <option> within a <Select>? I've got a select with several <option> lines,and I have the ID of the one I want to click, but have tried .click() but that doesn't work. It always picks the top of the list, and reading up on it, it sounds like the click isn't what I'd choose. Is there another?
I want to be able to post to a page, and one of the post values, auto selects one of the values in a drop-down box.So say i post a value 'Red' from a field called 'Colors' to a form, I would like 'Red' to be automatically selected in the 'Colors' select dropdown list.I am working with dropdown lists of many values, so need a way to automate this selection.
Basically, I need the script to hide two divs if one of the options in a <select> menu is selected.
Here's the code I've got for the Javascript: function typeoflisting() { var selectform = document.getElementById('propertytype'); if (selectform.options[selectedIndex].value == "sell") {
I'd like to have an alert of some type, either standard alert or a hidden div, show up when a user selects an option in a select element.
For instance, if a select element has 5 options in it and the user chooses the first one, they would get an alert that says "You have chosen the first option". I'm confident this is something that can be done with a few lines of code, but I'm not sure where to begin.
Here's the logic - I'm just not sure how to write the syntax...
If ("#select option") changes and ("#select option:eq(0):selected"), fade in the div ("alert").
I wish to have options show or not show depending on the options selected previously. I think I would be right in saying this needs to be client side and think it must be javascript that is needed here. Either way what method should I use and what is the coding needed to do this. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-W3CDTD HTML 4.01 TransitionalEN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head><body> <form action="" method="get"> .....
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.
So I've got some simple javascript functions to set dropdown selections based on index. But I've also have a field that needs to be selected based on its text (possibly value, but text would be better).The current code is really just based around this line:document.getElementById("Option3")[myOption1].selected = true;and what I'm looking for is:document.getElementById("Option3").getIndexByText("TheSelectorText").selected = true;Is there a built in function for this? Has anyone implemented it? I searched google and there didn't seem to be any standout answers.
It should be creating a set of options for a the select statement with id "sub_class", which it does.However, it should also be setting the selected option to the value I pass as 'selsubclassId', which only seems to work in FF or Chrome. In IE, the selected item always defaults to the first option.It's pretty basic PHP and jQuery. Is IE that stupid? Do we have a workaround?
I'm trying to set an option of a drop-down as active, regarding the category. I added the category name for this to the body class="category-XXXX-XXXX". What I need is something like an array to say:
if == category-AAAA-AAAA then option value=1 is selected if == category-BBBB-BBBB then option value=2 is selected if == category-CCCC-CCCC then option value=3 is selected
and so on. Unfortunately, I'm getting totally confused where to actually start and how to do that. I know, it is for sure out a line to ask for a finished script, but I'm sure someone can give me a hint, on how to do that.
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');
I have a form that uses jeditable to edit-in-place several fields and select boxes. Everything is working great. Now I need to a way to add a new option to the select list. What I would like is the user select "Add New..." from the select list that would pop-up a dialog window where several fields are filled in. When the form is saved the select field is updated with the new ID and description. I use Facebox for pop-up windows to display notes when the user clicks on a topic. I know Facebox can be used to display a form. It would be ideal to use this ability when creating a new option for the select box.
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?
I have a form that starts like this: http:[url].....I would like to have it set so that when they select Atlantis, it pulls out information into the second box, then they select something in there and it creates a list in the last box... does anyone know how to do this?
I have up to 3 dropdown lists that I can select using javascript functions. Depending on what I select in the first dropdown loads what is in the 2nd drop down and so on. i want to be able to select the first drop down and it skips the 2nd one and displays the 3rd one. How do I do that with the current functions I am using.
function cboSourceChange(){ var iSource = document.frmHarvestForm.cboSource.options[document.frmHarvestForm.cboSource.selectedIndex].value;
I've searched everywhere for this but can't find it. How can I select a particular value in a select dropdown box using javascript? (I.E a select box has 5 values, how can I select the 3rd?)
I currently have two html select list boxes side by side on a form, two buttons in between the boxes to move items from list box to the other, and a javascript function to control the movement of the items from one box to the other. Here is the javascript:
function MoveSelected(from, to) { var lstFrom = $(from); var lstTo = $(to); for (var i = 0; i<lstFrom.length;i++) {
i've been breaking my brain about this issue for a bit now, so here is my question.
I have a SELECT with various OPTIONS
<select id="myselect" name="myselect"> <option value='$variable' >1 - variable ammount of this option</option> <option value='$variable' id="showOption">2 - gets added once at the end of the SELECT</option>
I have a series of TEXT inputs each with a corresponding SELECT next to it. I don't know the actual ID of these controls because .net assigns them, but I can use a wildcard.
When the focus leaves one of the Text inputs, I want to display the corresponding Select (which is previously hidden). My ready function looks like this:
I have a cgi script (using perl for database queries) in which I have two select boxes. I am populating the left select box with rows from a database, and then provide buttons for people to move items to the right select box.
So far so good, everything works, the move right, move left, and move right all and move left all buttons work, data is always sorted in both lists. My only problem is, when I click the submit button, the follow up program only displays data that was highlighted/selected in the right select box, not all of the data in the right select box.
I don't know how to tell the script, via javascript, to highlight everything in the right select box when the submit form button is clicked. I would think i could just call a function via -onClick for the submit button. I could use some help with the function to select all data in that list.
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.
