JQuery :: IE - Setting Default Value Of A Hidden Single Select Dropdown
Mar 3, 2011
I have a single select dropdown in my application which is hidden for one type of user group. Before a user from this group can save any data, I have to explicitly select the default value of this dropdown for him as this dropdown is not visible to him.
Issue: In IE, this default value doesn't get selected as it is not populated but works fine in Firefox. Is this a jQuery bug?
Is there a way to override the default behaviour for single selects which makes it impossible to unselect a selected item?
What i need is: when someone clicks on an option, if it isn't selected is should be selected, but if it's already selected then it should be unselected.
I cannot work out why this doesn't work. $(document).ready( function(){ // Actual jQuery goodness that moves the captions // Set the default value for the caption $('.boxcaption').live('click', function(){ console.log(this); }); }); When I run the following and click on a .boxcaption element. It returns the this value 15 times, once for each .boxcaption that is on the page. I only want to return one value, which is the one I have clicked on.
I'm trying to make a blog and I am facing a problem with the plugin using jQuery 'sidebarTabs'.
The blog is here Paris sportifs My question is: Is it possible to display no one sub-category(none) instead of all sub-categories related to the first title ('Paris Sportifs') The creator of the plugin was very friendly and made me good service, but he said that it is not possible because the jQuery library by default is set to display the first sub-section ('Les bases pour débuter etc
My site, lizbmorrison.net, uses an adapted version of superbgimage and I've been trying to find what controls the visibility of #showtitle. Currently its automatically hidden when the page loads, and can be toggled by the info button in the lower right corner, but I'd like it to be visible by default.
I have an hidden field in a form defined as follow: <input type="hidden" name="previewText" value="" /> To assign its value I used: var contentText = "<h2>Order Preview</h2>"; $("input[name='previewText']").val(contentText); It works fine but the html code is lost. Is there a way to retain the
I am very new to jquery and I am trying to set the value of a textarea which is not in a form, into a hidden field which is in a form. In the text area, I have given it an id called refnote and ive used the text() to get the text in it. However, the problem is setting the retrieved text in a hidden form field. $('form').submit(function(){ alert ($('#refnotes').text()); return false; });
I use autocomplete on my application. The width of the dropdown is equal to the width of the Input element that is used. I would like to use a custom width for the Dropdown leaving the width of the input same. Can this be done?
It shows a default value which dissapears when the user clicks on the password field. However, because the input field type is set to 'password', whatever I set as the default value is masked by *
Is there any way around this to make normal text appear but still have the input box masked when they start to type the password?
I'm poking at a small "single page application" (SPA), ala TiddlyWiki, to act as kind of a local, single-user version of Twitter (no real application, except to familiarize myself with JavaScript). Right now I'm using a hidden field to hold JSON, which is currently my flat-file database of posts.
Is there a better way to store JSON data in a SPA other than hidden fields? I'm Googling now to allay or confirm my concerns, but I'm worried that there may be some upper limit to how much data you can cram in the value of one.
I'm using JSON mostly because (a) I really prefer it to XML in JavaScript applications, (b) it seems (key word, "seems") smart to separate my post data from posts (so I can show n-number of posts at a time), and (c) I really dislike parsing XML in JavaScript when JSON seems like a viable alternative. (Though, given my size/space if JSON isn't going to work, I'm not averse to using XML.)
When someone arrives at my site I want certain tables to be displayed by default and others hidden. On each one of them I want there to be an image that will be a plus sign (eg. plus.png) for the hidden ones and a minus sign (eg. minus.png) for the shown ones. When someone for example clicks on the plus.png image on a hidden table I want the table to show itself and the image to change to the minus.png one.
Okay, new to this magical thing called Javascript and LOVING it. Don't know how I avoided it all these years. :thumbsup:
Running into a stupid issue and I am sure it is just something I am missing. I have a hidden field in my page with the default value of HELLO. I am trying to make a change based on the default value, but I obviously am doing something wrong because it won't display my hidden field value. [code]...
If I have a dropdown menu like so: Code: <select name='statecode' id='statecode'> <option value=''>Choose State</option> <option value='AK' >Alaska</option> <option value='etc' >etc</option> </select>
How would I go about making the default SELECTED go to the state depending on a php variable? Let's say I have a variable passed to this page called "stateCode" -If the variable's value is AK, how would I make the default option shown SELECTED be Alaska? -If the variable is TX, how would I make it default Texas?
According to [URL] intended way for jQuery to change dynamically the selected option of a dropdown select control isassigningthe desired text instead of the value. I found this way veryinconvenient (data structures usually deal with value codes, not value descriptions) and it seems to work only sometimes.
Trying different options I came out with this approach that seems to do the job so far:
function setSelect(pID,pSelectedValue) { $('#'+pID + ' option:selected').removeAttr('selected');
a user goes to a page, selects a value from a select box then clicks a link to run a report using that hidden variable as a parameter. I am attempting to place the value in the URL to pass it. I'm sure the javascript is working, and maybe it's the HTML I've messed up - not sure.Here is the javascript (the alert does return the correct value):
function OnChangeDay() { //assign the day id to the hidden variable $day x=eval(document.getElementById("day_loc_id_select").value)
[code]....
And here is the HTML that should send the value, but I get day= (nothing)
<a href='/depts/edoptions/excel_extract.php?ex=2&day=<? echo $test_day ?>'>SLIP Data to Excel</a>
I have a form that I am using for several different pages as they are exactly the same... however at the top you must make a choice from the drop down box that then shows the appropriate fields to fill in. Can I make the drop down default to a certain option depending on which page they are coming from?
I have a select list #technology. Due to some back end processing it's default value is "0" (Please Select) I am trying to write a validation rule to make it required. The problem I'm having is that if you hit submit when it shows "Please Select" which has the value="0" then make a different selection it's not removing the error msg. Also if you hit submit multiple times when it is showing Please Select it just keeps adding the error msg
it looks like a simple form that uses a 'GET' method to append to the default URL the users choice of the dropdown data. I'm assuming this is sent to the sites server where it performs some PERL or CGI magic and sends back to the users page a link. The weathersite already has all the links created in Flash format.
I have compiled a list of all flash-links for the cities I want users to be able to choose on my page. Since I have no clue to what type server side code I would need to write, could I not use Javascript to take the users choice from the dropdown box and then output the correct Flash code into the appropriate point in the HTML page?
