Creating Option List From Chosen Option?

Sep 16, 2010

I have an select option list, each option has a numerical id, value and text. Each option has an array of its own. So when I choose an option from this list, I want to insert the options array into another option list with an id, value and text. Whats the best way of doing this? How do I select an array based on the value or text of a select option? For for example, take a list of car makes. If I choose the make Audi, how do I select the array of Audi models and insert these models into another select option list. All makes and models have their own numerical id, value and text.

When Option In Select Field Is Chosen, Make Input Appear?

Apr 14, 2009

I need a script that when an option is selected in a drop-down box (select tag) an input tag appears and I am still pretty basic at javascript.

I was using a script that worked fine but because the variable of the option that makes the script go required the "|" character, it interfered with a PHP script in my document and screwed everything up.

Display Form Object When Certain Option Chosen From Select Tag

Mar 9, 2009

I am building a form with ColdFusion, HTML, and will be using some Javascript, and I wnt the javascript to tell one form object to display itself when a certain option is chosen from a <select> tag.

<cfquery name="getCategories" datasource="#mydatasource#" username="#myusername#" password="#mypassword#">
SELECT * FROM categories WHERE type = 'cat' ORDER BY id
</cfquery>
<cfform action="engine.cfm" method="post" format="html">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><th colspan="2">New Category</th>
</tr><tr>
<td>Category Type:</td>
<td><select name="type">
<option value=" "></option>
<option value="cat">Main Category</option>
<option value="sub">Sub Category</option>
</select></td></tr>
<tr><td>Name:</td>
<td><cfinput type="text" name="title" size="20" maxlength="100" required="yes" message="A name for the category is required.">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>Parent Category:</td><td>
<cfselect enabled="Yes" name="parentcat" multiple="no" query="getCategories" value="id" display="title" queryPosition="below">
<option value=" "></option></cfselect>
</td></tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" validate="submitonce" validateat="onserver,onsubmit"></td>
</tr></table></cfform>

I want the <cfselect> tag to display on if Sub Category is selected on the first <select> tag. I expect that it will use the onchange attribute but other than that I have no idea.

JQuery :: Create An "Add New Option" Option To A Select List?

Oct 12, 2009

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.

JQuery :: Removing An Option From A Select Based On The Option Value?

Jun 21, 2010

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.

Goto Url From Option List?

Apr 8, 2009

I am trying to find a tutorial and learn how to create an option list and when a user selects an option they are automatically directed to a new url. I'd rather not have to use a submit button, but i guess it would be nice to learnt that too.

The thing i'm having difficulty with is what function it would use? onchange, onclick etc. I'm not really sure what to search for, and how it is described.

Dropdown List - Choose One Option - Okc - Pc Or Cc

Oct 2, 2010

This is dropdown list...if user choose okc in first list(vrsta) in second (celik) user can choose C0270 and C0370...if chosen pc in first list in second user can choose C1330 and C1530 etc... There are two boxes...ans15 and ans14...and button which user clicks

The idea is that user choose one option(okc,pc or cc) and choose option (C0270 or something else) onclick some values should be written in boxes

Example: chosen okc and C0270 in ans15 "hello" and in ans14 "goodbye" should be writen if chosen okc and C0370 in ans15 "hi" and in ans14 "bye" should be writen:

Select An Option From A Menu List?

Aug 23, 2010

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.

Dynamic SelectedIndex In Option List Not Working?

Apr 27, 2010

If the user types "a" then the select box is populated with "Choose An Animal...", then the three three animals beginning with A. So far so good. But if the user selects say Albatross and then types the letter b then the option "Bear" is selected rather than "Choose An Animal". Although the code is sel.selectedIndex = 0; (not 1). How can I force the selected index to 0 when a choice has been made previously? Is this a bug - if so it is the same in IE and FF.
