I have 2 select boxes where first is all user selectable but in second selected option is dependant on first select box. Selected value in first option box matches option's class in second select box but values are different. I imagine i need something like:
$('#territory').change(function() {
if($(this).val() == 'EU')
{
$('#territory2').class('EU');
}
How do i select selected option by class name? (There might be more than 1 option with the same class name but it just needs to select any of them).
<select id="territory" name="territory"">
<option value="EU">A</option>
<option value="GB">B</option>
<option value="ALL">C</option>
</select>
<select id="territory2" name="territory2">
<option value="1" class="EU">A</option>
<option value="2" class="GB">B</option>
<option value="3" class="ALL">C</option>
<option value="4" class="ALL">D</option>
</select>
Set the value attribute of the desired <option> element on the value attribute of the <select>:
const territory = document.getElementById("territory"),
territory2 = document.getElementById("territory2");
territory.addEventListener("input", ev => {
territory2.querySelector("."+territory.value).selected = true;
});
<select id="territory" name="territory">
<option value="EU">A</option>
<option value="GB">B</option>
<option value="ALL">C</option>
</select>
<select id="territory2" name="territory2">
<option value="1" class="EU">A</option>
<option value="2" class="GB">B</option>
<option value="3" class="ALL">C</option>
<option value="4" class="ALL">D</option>
</select>
Note that this will only select the first option with that class.
I recommend data-attribute:
$('#territory').on("change", function() {
const territory = $("option:selected", this).data("territory");
$("#territory2").val(territory)
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="territory" name="territory">
<option value="" data-territory="0">Please select</option>
<option value="EU" data-territory="1">A</option>
<option value="GB" data-territory="2">B</option>
<option value="ALL" data-territory="3">C</option>
</select>
<select id="territory2" name="territory2">
<option value="0">Please select</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>

What I'm trying is something pretty basic, but I can't do it because the examples I see aren't anything similar to what I'm looking for.
There are 2 select, one of them you choose manually and the other dynamically changes depending on the value of the first one.
If the value of the first select is 1, that in the second one they only appear whose value is 1 as well.
I want to make it 100% JavaScript, I don't want any JQuery.
HTML.php
<select onchange="catch_value_types()" name="types" id="types">
<option value="1">Meat</option>
<option value="2">Fish</option>
<option value="3">Vegetables</option>
</select>
<select name="food" id="food">
<option value="1">Pork</option>
<option value="1">Cow</option>
<option value="1">Chicken</option>
<option value="2">Sardine</option>
<option value="2">Salmon</option>
<option value="2">Mackerel</option>
<option value="3">Spinach</option>
<option value="3">Kale</option>
<option value="3">Green peas</option>
</select>
JavaScript.js
function catch_value_types() {
var types_value_option = document.getElementById("types").value;
// What should I put here?
}
Loop through the options and hide if value doesnot match
function catch_value_types() {
const selectedValue = document.getElementById("types").value;
const select2 = document.getElementById("food");
Array.from(select2.options).forEach((node) => node.style.display = node.value === selectedValue ? "block": "none");
}
<select onchange="catch_value_types()" name="types" id="types">
<option value="1">Meat</option>
<option value="2">Fish</option>
<option value="3">Vegetables</option>
</select>
<select name="food" id="food">
<option>Please Select</option>
<option value="1">Pork</option>
<option value="1">Cow</option>
<option value="1">Chicken</option>
<option value="2">Sardine</option>
<option value="2">Salmon</option>
<option value="2">Mackerel</option>
<option value="3">Spinach</option>
<option value="3">Kale</option>
<option value="3">Green peas</option>
</select>
I need help on something really simple.
I have 2 dropdown boxes on a form:
<select name="OfficeLocation" >
<option value="" ></option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">New York</option>
<option value="2" >Los Angeles</option>
<option value="3" >San Francisco</option>
</select>
<select name="OfficePhone">
<option value="" ></option>
<option value="1">(718)555-1212</option>
<option value="2" >(213)555-1212</option>
<option value="3" >(415)555-1214</option>
</select>
The second one is "Read Only"
All I need to know is how can I change the value of "OfficePhone" by changing the value of "OfficeLocation"? using either a simple JavaScript or JSP Command
Thanks
You are able to use a script like the following:
<script>
menu1 = document.getElementsByName('OfficeLocation')[0];
menu2 = document.getElementsByName('OfficePhone')[0];
menu1.onchange = function(){
menu2.value = menu1.value;
}
</script>
Here you are using the onchange event to initiate a function that make the value on the second menu menu2 equals to the selected value of the first menu menu1.
An online demo is here
Notice that: the script should be placed after your elements.
You gonna need an event handler function for the OfficeLocation select and an id for the second select.
<select name="OfficeLocation" onchange="eHandler">
<option value="" ></option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">New York</option>
<option value="2" >Los Angeles</option>
<option value="3" >San Francisco</option>
</select>
<select name="OfficePhone" id="oPhone">
<option value="" ></option>
<option value="1">(718)555-1212</option>
<option value="2" >(213)555-1212</option>
<option value="3" >(415)555-1214</option>
</select>
You have to implement your event handler in your script, like this:
function eHandler(){
var secondSelect = document.getElementById('oPhone');
secondSelect.value = //the value you want to be selected
}
I have the following select drop down box:
<select name="selectcourier" required>
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="collection">Collection</option>
<option value="Interlink">Interlink</option>
<option value="DespatchBay">Despatch Bay</option>
<option value="International">International</option>
</select>
What I want to do is if Interlink is selected a secondary select box appears below it and disappears if it unselected and another option is chosen instead. This is the second select drop down box.
<label>Select Shipping Courier:</label>
<select name="selectcourier" required>
<option value="1">Please Select</option>
<option value="2">Next Day</option>
<option value="3">2-3 Day</option>
<option value="3">Pre 12</option>
</select>
How can I go about getting this working?
bind an event with javascript on change and insert a new element in the DOM (the second select statement) like:
(provided you have jquery)
var secondSelect="your_html_here";
$("name='selectcourier'").change(function() {
if (this.val()=='Interlink') {
$('body').append(secondSelect); }
else {
$('#secondselectid').remove();
});
customise the html and where you want to append the second select
<script>
$(function(){
$('#s1').hide();
});
function call()
{
var check=$('#s2').val();
if(check=="Interlink")
{
$('#s1').show();
}
else
{
$('#s1').hide();
}
}
</script>
<select name="selectcourier" required onchange="call();" id="s2" >
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="collection">Collection</option>
<option value="Interlink">Interlink</option>
<option value="DespatchBay">Despatch Bay</option>
<option value="International">International</option>
</select>
<label>Select Shipping Courier:</label>
<select name="selectcourier" required id="s1">
<option value="1">Please Select</option>
<option value="2">Next Day</option>
<option value="3">2-3 Day</option>
<option value="3">Pre 12</option>
</select>
You can use the above code to achieve your task
Just react on the event of changing the value of the first select.
If the value equals 'Interlink' display the second select - if the value is something else hide the second select.
<select name="selectcourier" required onchange="document.getElementById('interlink_addition').style.display = (this.value=='Interlink' ? 'block' : 'none')">
<option value="">Please Select</option>
<option value="collection">Collection</option>
<option value="Interlink">Interlink</option>
<option value="DespatchBay">Despatch Bay</option>
<option value="International">International</option>
</select>
<div id="interlink_addition" style="display:none">
<label>Select Shipping Courier:</label>
<select name="selectcourier" required>
<option value="1">Please Select</option>
<option value="2">Next Day</option>
<option value="3">2-3 Day</option>
<option value="3">Pre 12</option>
</select>
</div>
you can use ajax for this. write a ajax function to show second select box and call it on onChange event of the first select Box
I have a main drop down list which contains state names, when i select each state name i need to display the city names in a select box, but the select box name should be same because when i give different select box with same name the data is not storing in sql database. so i need to load the specific city names on each state select. any option
<option value="">Select your Location</option>
<option value="CHENNAI">CHENNAI</option>
<option value="GURGAON">GURGAON</option>
</select>
<select name="site">
<option value=""> Select Site </option>
<option value="City1"> City1</option>
<option value="City2"> City2</option>
<option value="City3"> City3</option>
<option value="City3"> City3</option>
</select>
<select name="site">
<option value=""> Select Site </option>
<option value="City1"> City1</option>
</select>
Demo
You can use prop('disabled', true / false); to manage which city to choose. You should not have 2 selects with same name, so because you need them in sql I made a fix for it. Notice also in your post you miss first <select> and "City 3" comes up 2 times.
html
<select name="state" id="sel_state">
<option value="">Select your Location</option>
<option value="CHENNAI">CHENNAI</option>
<option value="GURGAON">GURGAON</option>
</select>
<select name="site" id="CHENNAI">
<option value="">Select Site</option>
<option value="City1">City1</option>
<option value="City2">City2</option>
<option value="City3">City3</option>
<option value="City4">City3</option>
</select>
<select name="site" id="GURGAON">
<option value="">Select Site</option>
<option value="City1">City1</option>
</select>
jQuery
$(function () {
$("#sel_state").change(function () {
var a = $("#sel_state option:selected").text();
if (a == 'CHENNAI') {
$('#GURGAON').prop('disabled', true);
$('#CHENNAI').prop('disabled', false);
$('#GURGAON').prop('name', 'site_ignored');
$('#CHENNAI').prop('name', 'site');
}
if (a == 'GURGAON') {
$('#CHENNAI').prop('disabled', true);
$('#GURGAON').prop('disabled', false);
$('#GURGAON').prop('name', 'site');
$('#CHENNAI').prop('name', 'site_ignored');
}
});
});
Here is what I've started to do: http://jsfiddle.net/nd9ny/
For now it doesn't work as I want it to.
I want to update options each time when a new select input is added or an input is removed.
For example, we have our first select input with these options:
<select>
<option value="1"></option>
<option value="2"></option>
<option value="3"></option>
<option value="4"></option>
</select>
When I add new input to my page, I want my function to update all the inputs and to remove the newly selected option from them.
<select>
<option value="1" selected></option>
<option value="3"></option> // The second one is removed
<option value="4"></option>
</select>
<select>
<option value="2" selected></option> // The first one is removed
<option value="3"></option>
<option value="4"></option>
</select>
And then, If I remove the first input, the second one becomes:
<select>
<option value="1"></option>
<option value="2" selected></option>
<option value="3"></option>
<option value="4"></option>
</select>
Pure Javascript code needed.
You may try the following solution:
- CSS:
.hidden {
display: none;
}
- JS function:
function hide_selected(el) {
var index = el.selectedIndex;
// Show every options
for(var i=0; i<el.length; i++)
el[i].className="";
// Hide the selected one
el[index].className="hidden";
}
- HTML example:
<body>
<select onchange="javascript:hide_selected(this);">
<option value="1" class="hidden" selected="selected">1</option>
<option value="2" class="">2</option>
<option value="3" class="">3</option>
<option value="4" class="">4</option>
</select>
</body>
Note: This function was tested with Firefox, you may have to check if this works with other browsers.
Hope this helps
