JS To Select An Option In A Combo Box

Jul 23, 2005

How do i select an option in a combo box? i have tried looking on the internet but dont really know what i should be searching for. what i want to happen is that when a function is called
a line of code will select a specific option in a combo box. something like:

//excuse the dodgy syntax

function select_combo() {
cb_1.select[3] //where option 3 will be selected (or 4 if first index
is 0)
}


the combo box would be something like:

<select>
<option>First</option>
<option>Second</option>
<option>Third</option>
</select>


The function would change the selection in the combo 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.

I'm using Prototype and scriptaculous either, but here it is:

I have two select areas and scripts to transfer items between the two.

JQuery :: Select Dynamically An Option In A Dropdown Select?

Aug 11, 2010

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');

Using Combo Box To Create Second Combo Box / Add Second Selection To SESSION

Aug 11, 2009

What I have got is a form that a user has to fill out and submit (when validated all variables are stored in a session and emailed after multiple forms are completed), currently I have radio buttons, text boxes and a combo box/ drop down list (for location). All parts are working fine and validating fine. My problem is to do with the combo box//ddl. I have successfully validated the ddl so the user must select a location onsubmit and it is added to session and passed fine.At the moment the ddl only has cities or towns in it however as I would like to include different states and possibly different countries I need a code that validates the state first and then only gives the cities/towns that are in that state (otherwise my ddl would be to large). I can do this with links however I can't seem to do it in a form.

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.

Select Option Change Using DOM

Apr 16, 2007

As far as my understanding of HTML DOM aka DHTML goes, is that if the
DOM structure of HTML document is changed programmatically using
JavaScript in the browser, it immediately gets reflected in the page's
view. For example, if following code is executed on say a click of a
button

var f = document.getElementById("f1"); // f1 is id of a form
var i = document.createElement("input");
i.setAttribute("type", "text");
f.appendChild(i);

the page immediately shows the new textbox under that form. But in the
following code, this doesnt happen.

<form id="f1">
<select id="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>
<script>
// Gets executed say on click of some button
var c = document.getElementById("cars");
c.options[1].setAttribute("selected", "selected"); // doesnt work
c.options[1].selected = true; // works
</script>

the option in combo box remains same. I checked in Firebug that the
attribute is added properly. Using the selected attribute works. Why
so?

<select..onchange() > With Only One <option>

Sep 27, 2007

I have a bunch of select statements in a form, and each select statement
has an onchange="do_something(this)" in it, and this works
nicely..except when there is only ONE OPTION in a given select.
It seems you cannot 'onchange' a single option!

Well, that is reasonable.

The trouble is I have no way of selecting it since the form itself is a
dummy: The form action is basically to submit to a new script with
hidden variables carefully set to get the desired action depending on
the last option selected Code:
