Apr 20, 2010
If i have a drop down list on my website, and i want to use javascript to change its selected value,however, i do not have the id/name attribute of the option i want to select, only have the "value" attribute of the option, can it be done?
<select name="category">
<option value="">No Preference</option>
<option value="Apples">Apples</option>
<option value="Oranges">Oranges</option>
<option value="Pears">Pears</option>
<option value="Banana">Banana</option>
</select>
I imagine somehow.. selecting the options and looping through them and match the value. Really new to javascript,

I am asking jQuery to tell me which drop down option is selected in a drop down list - like this:
I would like to check if this was successful before I proceed. What are the possible return values for this statement?
If no id exists.
If no option is selected.
If some other problem occurred.
In these cases am I expecting a null return; an undefined return, a false return value?
And, based upon the complete set of return possibilities, what would be the best and most comprehensive tests I could apply to cover every base.

iam trying to use 5 drop downs in my form for user to select languages and each select drop down should not allow the user to select the same language again and all my drop downs are populating individually from the DB on the page so if "English" is selected for "dropdown 1" then again "drop down 2" should not allow "English" to be selected.

I have a page that displays a list of people playing in a tournament. I need to be able to generate a Leaderboard based on which players are manually selected by the admin. Next to each person there is a drop-down list. An admin can go in and select a "slot" that a player should be in on the leader board from 1 to 8, or leave it blank if none. What I need to figure out how to do is the following, when a change event happens on a drop-down list, and say the value 5 is selected, I need to check to make sure that 5 is not already selected in one of the other players drop-down lists, in other words, that the 5th leaderboard slot is not already full. if it is, display an error message and make them change that one first. how to do that with jQuery? I'm thinking it will have something to do with the each() function, but not sure exactly how the logic should work.

On a drop down list, on click of an option an input textfield appears. e.g.
echo "<select>
<option>What is your opinion on</option>
</select>";
echo "<div id='pop'><input type='hidden' id='opinion' size='20' name='opinion' value='Type Keyword Here' /></div>";
i want it to be hidden and then appear on click of the option in the dropdown list.

I want to use a <select> drop-down in a form to let my user select a date from a list. The problem is how to easily update the list.
Easiest would be to have a list of dates in a separate file, and have code that would read the dates and write them into the <option> statements of the <select> control. Then when the page with the <select> control opens, the code will open the other file, get the dates, and update the <option>s. And all I have to do is periodically FTP a new date file.
I'm stuck in Visual Basic and FileSystemObject, where I can open a file, read line by line into an array, concatenate a string, and write it into a doc. I can't seem to find similar methods in JavaScript - no duh, because this isn't VB!
So _is_ there a way to do this? Maybe a certain way to create the date file so the code can easily find the values? (Like putting the dates into a table with each <TD> having a unique ID?) And assuming I manage to get the dates, I need to write them into the source HTML, vice in the document body.
What objects, methods, properties do I look at? Are there any samples floating around out there?

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.

I'm having trouble making JavaScript select an option from a list menu. I created the list menu using an array with php. I.E.
HTML Code:
<? $states = array('NY', 'NJ', 'CA');
for($s = 0; $s <= 2; $s++){?>
<option><? echo $states[$s] ?> </option>
<? } ?>
So then I have some JavaScript code, that automatically determines which state you're in. My question is, how do you get JavaScript to select the state the code has determined you're in? I tried these, to no avail.
document.form.states.value = currentstate;
document.form.states.select= currentstate;
currentstate being the variable that determines the current state you're in.

I have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user.
The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I am not able to use title attribute for displaying tooltips in my browser.
Now the code ...

I've been beating my head against a wall for a few days trying to get this working. I'm trying to create a dynamic menu where a user selects one item and another select list is shown, then another and another (and so on). Here is my JS, it *should* be taking the ID of the div, comparing it to the selected value and then showing another div by settings it's class property to visible:

My mission: Open/collapse TD cells based on items selected in a list box. Getting no response from jQuery so I've done something wrong but cant quite get there. Listbox 'mainselect' contains option values that refer to names of TDs in a table. When a mainselect option is clicked, it will toggle to open or close the referenced TD list box by option value. Does hide/show make a TD 'blank' or actually set it's width to '0'? I want it to close, moving other cells left.

I know very little javascript, I am more familiar with php. I am working with javascript code, php/mysql backend and smarty templates. I am trying to get the textfield box to update with a variable from the database based on the selection from the drop down field. My dynamic drop down selection works fine, it is pulling the data from the database (example:$item[i].PARTS_RATE_ID}) just fine. But I want the textfield ('parts_price['+iteration+']') to dynamically show the $item[i].PARTS_RATE_COST from the database (in the parts section), associated with the $item array from the "parts description".

I have noticed a few requests lately on the forum where there is a request for a dynamic dropdown list (<select...> tag) that would display one set of options if one condition is met, but a different set of options if a different condition is chosen. This is my attempt to solve this problem for other users. The following code is a template to show one way of how this question could be resolved.

The intention is that when you select a site from the list, the banner underneath changes. However, I can only get it to do this once, then it simply refuses to let you select anything else. This is the code I am using to change it:
function defineimage()
{
if (document.forms[0].gourl.value = "http://jeff.zhomg.com")
{
document.images.linkimage.src = '/images/exchange/jeff.gif'
}
else if (document.forms[0].gourl.value = "http://www.strangedrawingsartgallery.com")
{
