Select An Item On A Dropdown List

Jul 27, 2005

I have have some values stored in javascript variables. I have a
<select> dropdown list whose options correspond to these values. I want
to be able to select an item on the dropdown list based on the value of
the javascript variable.

Let's say this is my list and my variable:

<select id='popup'>
<option value="default">--Please Choose a saying--</option>
<option value="hello">Hello</option>
<option value="goodbye">Goodbye</option>
</select>

var input = "hello";

Is there a way to select the 2nd option using using that variable
value? Something like:

var popup = document.getElementById("popup");
popup.selectedItem = input;

JQuery :: Autocomplete - Only First Letter Of Each Item In Dropdown List?

Jul 7, 2010

I tried to use it in my app and I only have the first letter of each item in the dropdown list. So it is very difficult to select the good option I have search any information in these forums about this trouble, but no success.

[Code]...

perhaps this code is wrong and json format not good ? so, the first item of dropdown list is fine in the input box, but all items with only one letter in dropdown list. I hope any body can spend a few time and help me a little to understand that is wrong, as I could terminate my app.

Getting IE6 To Auto-select An Item In A Dropdown

Mar 21, 2007

On this page (just a demo) I can’t get IE6 to auto-select the first item
in the dynamically-generated drop-down menus. Well, that isn’t entirely
true. Sometimes it works properly, but never on the first try. When it
fails, the error message it gives is:

"Cannot set the selected property. Unspecified error."

FF2, IE7, and OP9 all behave as expected. I have tried a variety of
workarounds to no avail. I don't have an exhaustive list of everything I
have tried, but it seems like I have tried a hundred ways of setting the
"selected" attribute.

The page uses jQuery 1.1.2. Currently the page is using...

$("#select-how option:first-child").attr("selected","selected");

....to auto-select the first item in the list.

Select List Add Item Bug In IE6 / Work Around It?

Nov 8, 2010

I have created a control that mimics a tree view control (i.e. expandable and collapsable items). In order to facilitate this functionality I am using a select list and using selectList.Add to add child options to their parent when the parent is double clicked, which works fine, however in IE6 after doing that the focus of the the select list jumps to the first item in the control, even though the item that was double clicked is still highlighted when I scroll back down to it. The only way I can get this code to work is by adding an alert after I have added the new item to the list, which is not a workable solution. The code works fine in IE7 and later. Anybody know a work around? I have pasted some code that highlights the issue below, just scroll down the list a while and double click one of the lower options, focus will jump back up to the top of the list. code...

Detecting When The Select Element's Dropdown List Is Open And/or Closed

Jul 20, 2005

I need to know when the select element's dropdown list is opened (as when the user clicks on the arrow or does ALT-downarrow from the keyboard). Similarly, I need to known when the dropdown list closes.

The closing of the dropdown list can happen without changing the dropdown, hence the onchange event is not a sure way to determine that the dropdown list closed.

Is this possible in Internet Explorer?

Disable A Dropdown List Based On Selection In Another Dropdown List?

Apr 20, 2011

I have two dropdown lists with the second one being dependent on the selection in the first.

Options in list 1: 1,3 or 4

List two should be enabled when 3 or 4 is selected in list 1.

So far so good, managed to get it to work with only one set of lists, but I actually have 18 of those sets in this form:

<select name="fw[$i]" id="fw[$i]">
<option value="1">FWH</option>
<option value="3">links</option>
<option value="4">rechts</option>

[Code]....

I'm not that adept in javascript programming, more like a trial and error guy, how has hit the wall with this problem.

Create A Small DHTML Code That Created A Unordered List Of Input Forms Dependent On The Number Selected From The Select Dropdown Menu

Oct 21, 2011

I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:

Update A Dropdown List Based On The Selection Of A Previous List

Aug 16, 2010

i am writing a script that will update a dropdown list based on the selection of a previous list. the script is run by a PHP script, so instead of posting the PHP, i will post an example client-side script. the hierachy is: category, sub category, brand (but sometimes there exists no sub category and the PHP script queries and adds brands instead) everything works correctly, except for one major issue: you can not change the selection of the third (brand) box this could be an easy fix for some coders, but i am not experienced in javascript and could really use some help. here is an example script, sorry it is so long

PHP Drop Down List Selection Populates Second Dropdown List Or Text Box?

Jul 13, 2011

I have been struggling on a bit of code for a while now. I need to populate a second drop down list (Region) based upon the selection of the first (County).I have found a piece of code that works on its own and have adapted to suit my needs - see below. However, when I drop it into my main page the javascript is not working. It's because of the formObject but I just don't know enough to resolve this! Furthermore, I need the textboxes the user has already completed in the form to retain their value once the javascript kicks in as the completed form will submit to a database.This piece of code is working well . . . .

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('myhost', 'myusername', 'mypassword') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');[code]......
