Updating A <div> When Selecting From Drop Down List
Aug 23, 2004
I want to implement a page which has a dropdown list of images in the directory such that when a user clicks on a new value from the drop down list, an image displayed in a <div> changes in sympathy with the user's selection ...
I'm trying to alter the contents of a drop-down (select) list on the parent window from a child window in IE 6. After opening the child window, I set its opener to reference the parent like this:
childwin = window.open(...) if (childwin == null) childwin.opener = self;
Then, to update the parent select list from the child window, I do this:
opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options.length = 0; opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options[0] = new Option("", ""); for (var ixy = 1; ixy <= newDataArray.length; ixy++) { opener.document.myForm.NameOfSelect.options[ixy] = new Option(someNewDisplayText, newValue); }
This looks correct and works up to a point. I can empty the parent select by setting the its options.length to zero. But, when I try to add new options, IE gives me a "server threw an exception" message. Is all this even possible in IE?
I need to make the page redirect to the appropriate section when an option is selected (e.g. when 'contents' is selected, the page redirects to 'contents.htm', etc).
I have a dynamic table where I would like to update cells by using a drop list selecting from half a dozen items. I have searched W3Schools for a tutorial but I am obviously looking in the wrong place. The working code I have thus far is:-
function insRow() { var x=document.getElementById('myTable').insertRow(1); var a=x.insertCell(0); var b=x.insertCell(1); var c=x.insertCell(2); var d=x.insertCell(3); var e=x.insertCell(4); var f=x.insertCell(5); [Code]...
I am trying to create a drop down list which depend to the value selected from the previous drop down list. I can add it without problem, but If I change again the value of the first drop down list I would like to remove the previous drop down list generated from the first value. If I try to remove it when I create the element, it even does not create the element, the remove element function seems to work because when you click on the remove link it works.
I have a DB query that returns CustomerID, CustomerName, CustomerContact, CustomerSalesID. This Query populates a dropdown.
I need to have the Customer Contact applied to a text field and the customer Sales ID used to select the SalesRep from a different drop down when you select a customer.
Not too hard I'd think. I don't think I need to go as fancy as AJAX since I've already called the query when the page loads, that data is already there.
Basically I'm making an order form that updates the Total Text Box at the bottom of the page depending upon which selection is made from the drop down box in the form,
I have a table that has parts with multiple characteristics. Part Number, Height, Width, Capacity, Price, Etc. I would like to have a drop downs for all of these values, when a user selects one of these values it will filter the results into a list. Ex. user selects a part that has a Height of 6 and width of 10 it will only list those parts. As I said earlier, I have a script that will give me all the parts, however I am not able to make the onchange list parts with multiple values.
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.
I'm just trying to find the best method of updating a running total of the value of list boxes. I basically have 6 items and I want a drop down box listing quantities. when a number is selected I want a total to update beneath. I'm not sure I can do this in PHP without reloading the page. Do i need to use Java script? if so I'm a total newbie can someone point me in the right direction?
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]......
<script type="text/javascript"> var monthtext=['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sept','Oct','Nov','Dec']; function populatedropdown(dayfield, monthfield, yearfield){ var today=new Date()
which shows reports output formats in dropdown box & once i select option as "PDF" or any output and click finish button, then report o/p should open.I got sample script from forums. where this code gives me alll report output option in dropdown box, but when i select option from dropdownbox. automatically o/p opens.Since i am not java developer i am not aware of what to do, I am into more of reporting.. In this code i noticed they used on change function. is there way we can change to on select & finish button.. I know i should use input button to replace onchange function, but dont know where to put Here's code
<input type="hidden" name="run.outputFormat" value="HTMLFragment"> <script type="text/javascript" > function chgOutput(selFormat)
I have a javascript index that is similar to the one in the Windows help. It has a text field that allows the you to type text and it finds the closest item in the list below the text field. The list is simply a select element with options that looks like this:
My problem is when I have a large list, the closest entry selects the item in the list at the bottom of the list box, not the top of the list box.
So here's the question: Is there a way to get the list box to display the selected item and move it to the top of the list and not just find it at the bottom?
To get an idea of what I 'want' it to look like, in Windows, go to Help & Support (in XP it's in your start menu) and pick Index. I basically want it to mirror that functionality.
On a page for product descriptions, I have a MySQL query that returns a list of purchase options and the price of each option.There is a drop-down field which lists the names of each option. To the right, the price of the selected option is displayed.Upon selecting a different option, how can I have the displayed price change to that of the newly selected option?
I have an autocompleter in which i am trying to grab the text in the first element in a list of returned results from the db. I have been able to grab the first element in the list with the below code however, it brings up an alert for every realtime list that comes back so multiple times. Is there a clever way to make an if/else statement that forces it to alert only once?
var item = $('.title_div:first').text(); alert('this item ' + item + ' is the first to be showed');
Im working on some drag and drop logic similar to the jQuery shopping cart example, but I've run into a small hitch. If I double click on the LI within my 'dropped' area it causes them to become draggable again. I specifically set up drag to only work from one source list, so Im unsure how double clicking is causing this bug?
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 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++) {
Since this list include every country in the world (a long list) I'd like to offer users the a few text links along the side that select popular countries within the list without having to scroll through the huge list ... click here to select United States, click here to select Japan, etc.
What I am trying to do is fairly simple, depending on what option you select in the menu I want the picture to change to different picture. The code that I posted below works perfectly except for one problem. I need the option value to display the color name, and not have the image code in it. I have researched ways to do this without having to use "value" but I just can't find one that works.
I have triple drop down menu. I want to display the contents of the table based on the third menu selection. The code is in the link [URL]
I know I need to include a onchange function to <select name="genus"> but as you can see I have a <div> already for it. I am confused how to create the function to display the table and also the how to include another div tag.
