Script - Add Together Dollar Values In User Selected Drop Downs And Display On The Page
Jul 1, 2011
Working on a script that will add together dollar values in user selected drop downs and display on the page. I get the script to work if the total is to be displayed in a text box, but I want to do a document.write() to put it as a piece of text. I know the answer is simple, but I just don't have the experience to figure it out. I think it may have something to do with local/global scope of the variable.
I have a form which contains a few drop down lists.The contents of the dropdown lists are dependent on each other and are populated via php scripts which are called each time a selection is made or changed by the user.When the view results button is clicked in the form I need the user to be directed to a specific page based on the selections they have made.The url of the page they need to be directed to is really based on what has been chosen in the first dropdown.
The subsequent dropdowns form variables that I need to be sent to the page so that the data the user sees on that page is relevant.ie if the user has chosen bikes then a specific manufacturer then a specific price range the page they will be sent to will be the bike.php page with all the manufacturer specific bikes in their chosen price range visible. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about doing this please?I had thought about using the php header script along with an if statement but how do I then go about getting the variables sent to the page to be recognised?

I am having a problem with getting my output to display a dollar sign. I have the program running the way it is supposed to, it just won't format for currency. I have tried a couple of different methods and do not understand why the current code does not work.

I found this perfect javascript for creating dynamic connected drop down boxes. This script works fine but there is just one thing I want to add but unfortunately I'm not familiar with javascript enough... I want to display small images when an item is selected from the second drop down. An image should be assigned somehow to each selection from the right hand drop down menu in the code and when someone selects something from the list, an image should be displayed next to it automatically.
I am maintaining a site which is written in ASP. Now i have to create some new pages.
In one page we have a table with many rows. Now, I want to enable or disable(showing and hiding also) 2 rows of this table depending upon the value selected by the user from a drop down list.
Ok, I just tried to make this post and got logged out when I hit preview, so this time around it's gonna be much shorter as my patience has run out.
...Over at gazingus.org there is a sweet little bit of code that uses the DOM to make dropdown menus.
I have altered the code (see below) to make the menus appear on the first mousover instead of the onClick event.
However, they never go away. I'm trying to figure out how make the last menu open disappear after a short delay. I've already tried this
actuator.onmouseout=function(){
if(currentMenu){ setTimeout('currentMenu.style.visibility = "hidden";',2000); } } However, it doesn't work. The delayed code events pile up on each other if menus are continually moused over and out. (Say the user can't decide what menu they're looking for and runs the mouse left...then right...then left...)
The result is that after the 2000ms the menus close instantly....
/* * menuDropdown.js - implements an dropdown menu based on a HTML list * Author: Dave Lindquist (http://www.gazingus.org) */
var currentMenu = null;
if (!document.getElementById) document.getElementById = function() { return null; }
function initializeMenu(menuId, actuatorId,position) { var menu = document.getElementById(menuId); var actuator = document.getElementById(actuatorId);
I want the drop down to "activate" the option values in the input field. So, when the user changed the options, they wil automatically appear int he input field.
i have a soccer-site, on which of course, can be kept track of played matches. Now the admin has to be able to set the number of goals, and then select who scored what goal.
I want a system where one can put a number in a textfield (NaN would return an error). Say the admin enters Ɖ'. Then three dropdown lists appear below that field, in them are the players. If he turns Ɖ' (goals) into ƈ', the lowest one has to be deleted, but the upper two have to stay, with an unchanged (already selected) value ...
Preferrably cross browser. I just can't seem to figure out, i've tried loads of innerHTML and document.write(), both didn't give me what i wanted (yet).
Does anyone know if such a thing exists in web programming as an intelligent dropdown boxes (you know the type where u can type and it automatically completes your text for you from data it has stored in the database?)
what i'm looking to do is have a drop down menu, where when an option is selected it displays a description elsewhere on the screen and opens up another drop down menu along side the first one, then i'd like the second one to do the same as the first and finally i'd like the third one to just display a description.
but i'm not sure how to do it? javascript? if so what's it called so i can look into it/a tut on it.
so drop down 1 is either poetry or prose down down 2 is for poetry + narrative + nature + romantic
but for prose it's + fiction + non-fiction
but that's not just it, if you select poetry in drop down one, i want it to display a description (that's in the description="" of the option) and i want that the same for each different menu, though to appear in different position for each menu Code:
when a user clicks a radio button, javascipt populates the next drop-down depending on which radio button they clicked. This then happens to a next drop-down list. Code:
I am trying to create a webpage and it would be obvious to anyone who reads my source code (it's a mess) that I created it using a template. I know almost nothing about webpages, but am happy with all but a few bugs in my page.
I have read many posts about opening drop-downs in new windows, and have spent hours looking over my source code to see what I have done wrong.
My links open in the same window like I want, but ALL of my drop-downs open in a new window!
I have been asked to produce a web catalogue of services and associated options, this eventually will be used for ordering the services.
My initial thought was to use a set of cascading drop downs, select an option from the first fills the available options for the second and so on. Given the current buzz about Ajax this would seem an opportunity to try out some of its features.
Could anyone point me at an example of what I am trying to do? For information, the target web server environment is Apache with both mod perl and mod php being available.
you'll notice that when you click on the drop down arrow graphic for each module, there is a drop down menu that appears. You can move the module around the page and the drop down menu always appears under the arrow.
Does anyone have any recommendations as the best way to do this? I am grateful for any experiences you have. The key here is relatively positioning this drop-down menu.
i am quite frustrated with this. I have a dropdown with the values populating from database. Now when the user select "New" from the drop down, a new textfield should be seen which is in other case hidden. The code is working absolutely fine with firefox but its not at all working with IE. What could be the problem? What do i have to do extra for making it work.
Code in Head Tag <script language ="javascript"> function abc() { if(document.form1.select1.value=="New")
I want to make a dynamic 4 drop down menus with AJAX and PHP/mySQL, like this:
Category->dynamic subCategory
County->dynamic cityCounty
Is there any good tutorial that can teach me how to do this? I managed to have that Category dynamicly loads subCategory and that County dynamicly loads cityCounty but I ran into a problem when I already picked subCategory and than went on to pick a County, because of the reload.this function in javascript my subCategory gets lost. Can anyone point me in right direction?
I'm trying to build a string based on three drop downs. As each drop down choice is made, I want to append the string and redisplay it. When finished the string will be a complete (but not hyperlinked) URL.
My drop downs look like this:
HTML Code:
PHP Code:
Here's how it supposed to work...
When an admin has used the first drop down to pick the value of the "first" variable, the string is updated and redisplayed like so:
Next, when an admin has used the second drop down to pick the value of the "second" variable, the string is updated and redisplayed like so:
Finally, when an admin has used the third drop down to pick the value of the "third" variable, the string is updated and redisplayed like so:
That's all I have. I'm stuck. I'm guessing I need an "onChange" event with each drop down? Also, I need to refresh the "makeTheLink" div when an onChange event fires? How do you tie all of this together? Is self rolled JavaScript the best solution or would jQuery be better?
I'm new to this forum and also to Javascript. I've modified some script to add a browse button when "Add More" has been clicked.I was hoping someone may know how I can duplicate the entire row so that the two drop-down lists are also duplicated, in addition to the browse button
On my website the navigation is at the top and right aligned. When you hover over the items on the right and the drop downs begin to appear they drop down and fold out to the right and consequently off the page and not very visible. Is there a way to tell the drop downs to roll out to the left instead of right?
I am using the following code to show / hide form elements within a div based upon the drop down choice. Does anyone know how this code can be amended to use multiple drop downs within one form?
<html> <head> <title>Show and Hide</title> <script>
