Get Elements of a HTML div

i am building a configuration utility and having a problem with the js.
I am very new to javascript so i apologize in advance for the request for help.
in my HTML i have multiple divs that are structured like this:
<div id="options" class="opt">
<h2 id="optionName">Power Button Options</h2>
<label for="pwrAvl">Power Button Available</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="pwrAvl" id="pwrAvl"/ >
<br /><br />
<label for="pwrLabel">Power Button Label</label>
<input type="text" name="pwrLabel" id="pwrLabel"/ >
<br /><br />
<label for="pwrGraphic">Power Button Graphic</label>
<select name="pwrGraphic" id="pwrGraphic">
<option value="" selected>
----- Please select a graphic -----
</option>
<option value="power.jpeg">Power</option>
<option value="light.jpg">Light</option>
<option value="help.jpg">Help</option>
<option value="camera.jpg">Camera</option>
</select>
<br /><br />
<label for="pwrIndex">Power Button Menu Index</label>
<input type="text" name="pwrIndex" id="pwrIndex"/ >
</div>
i have between 5-10 divs that will all be structured the same way just with different labels and input values.
i tried adding all the divs to an array and then enumerate through the array but that did not work.
here is my js file what i have tried:
{
const bar = document.querySelector('options');
var opts = document.querySelectorAll('.opt')
var option = {}
var nCount = $(".opt").length;
var divArray = [];
var optName = document.getElementById('optionName');
function addArray() {
for (let i = 0; i < nCount; i++) {
divArray[i] = opts[i];
}
}
const saveBtn = document.getElementById('submit');
saveBtn.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
putSettings();
});
function SystemOptions(optionName, optionAvailable, optionLabel, optionGraphic, optionIndex) {
this.optionName = optionName;
this.optionAvailable = optionAvailable;
this.optionLabel = optionLabel;
this.optionGraphic = optionGraphic;
this.optionIndex = optionIndex;
}
async function putSettings() {
let info = {
"SystemConfiguration": {
"Options": [],
}
}
addArray()
console.log(`Divarray = ${divArray.length}`)
//The following would never work
opts.forEach(label => {
$('[id=optionName]').each(function () {
var atId = this.id;
console.log(`Searched Name = ${atId.innerHTML}`)
});
});
divArray.forEach(element => {
var name = divArray.getElementById('optionName').innerHTML;
console.log(name)
option = new SystemOptions(name, "yes", "Help Label", "Option.jpeg", 3);
info.SystemConfiguration.Options.push(option);
});
for (let i = 0; i < nCount; i++) {
// console.log(` ${$(".opt").find("h2[id=optionName").each.text()}`)
console.log(` ${divArray[i].querySelector(optName[i]).innerHTML}`)
}
// i did this once to see if the SystemsOptions function worked
// obviosly it added the same data 7 times but i was trying to be sure the function worked and created the json objects
for (let i = 1; i < nCount; i++) {
option = new SystemOptions("Power", "yes", "Help Label", "Option.jpeg", 3);
info.SystemConfiguration.Options.push(option);
}
let data = JSON.stringify(info, 0, 4);
console.log(data);
}
}
any help would be greatly appreciated.

not the most eloquent but this does work.
sure there are better ways:
var opts = document.querySelectorAll('.opt');
var option = {};
const saveBtn = document.getElementById('submit');
saveBtn.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
putSettings();
});
function SystemOptions(optionName, optionAvailable, optionLabel, optionGraphic, optionIndex) {
this.optionName = optionName;
this.optionAvailable = optionAvailable;
this.optionLabel = optionLabel;
this.optionGraphic = optionGraphic;
this.optionIndex = optionIndex;
}
async function putSettings() {
let info = {
"SystemConfiguration" :{
"Options": [],
}
};
for(var opt of opts)
{
var name = opt.getElementsByTagName('h2')[0].innerHTML;
let isAvailable = opt.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value;
let optLabel = opt.getElementsByTagName("input")[1].value;
let optGraphic = opt.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].value;
let index = opt.getElementsByTagName("input")[2].value;
option = new SystemOptions(name, isAvailable, optLabel, optGraphic, index);
info.SystemConfiguration.Options.push(option);
}
console.log(`Number of options = ${opts.length}`)
let data = JSON.stringify(info, 0, 4);
console.log(data);
};

Can't populate multiple dropdowns with JSON data, no errors

I have a JSON file with the information of watches. I want to build a simple form that allows a user to select a brand of watch, then the second dropdown would be populated with the values within "Model" and the final dropdown would be populated with the values within "Movement".
I've built what I assume to be right only it isn't working and I'm getting no errors?
HTML
<form name="myform" id="myForm">
<select name="optone" id="brands" size="1">

for (var brand in watches) {

}
brands.onchange = function () {

Ok, there were a lot of issues here.
Mainly over writing your variable names, but also incorrect navigation of array values, using the for( x in obj) when you should use forEach(func())
Also note that you JSON does not have a relationship between Model and Movement I noted this in the script, but you will likely want to look at that.
var watches = {
"Rolex": {
"Model": [
"Submariner",
"Yachtmaster",
"Oyster",
"Datejust"
],
"Movement": [
{
"label": "OysterDate",
"Id": "6694"
},
{
"label": "Hulk",
"Id": "3920"
},
{
"label": "DeepSea",
"Id": "2342"
}
]
},
"Omega": {
"Model": [
"Seamaster",
"Speedmaster",
"MoonWatch"
],
"Movement": [
]
}
}
const createOption = (value, text) => {
let opt = document.createElement('option');
opt.value = value;
opt.text = text;
return opt;
};
window.onload = function () {
var brands = document.getElementById("brands"),
model = document.getElementById("model"),
movement = document.getElementById("movement");
for (var brand in watches) {
brands.options.add(createOption(brand, brand));
}
brands.onchange = function () {
model.length = 1; // remove all options bar first
if (brands.selectedIndex < 1) return; // done
// This is an array of string.
watches[brands.value].Model.forEach(m => {
model.add( createOption(m, m));
});
}
// There is NO link in the JSON between model and movement ?
model.onchange = function () {
movement.length = 1; // remove all options bar first
if (this.selectedIndex < 1) return; // done
watches[brands.value].Movement.forEach(m => {
movement.options.add(createOption(m.Id, m.label));
});
}
}
// This does nothing.
//watches();
<form name="myform" id="myForm">
<select name="optone" id="brands">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select a brand</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<select name="opttwo" id="model">
<option value="" selected="selected">Please select model</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<select name="optthree" id="movement">
<option value="" selected="selected">Please select a movement</option>
</select>
</form>

Try with this.
On window.onload function you are declaring the brands, model but you are overriding it in the loops.
Also read about the differences between for ... of and for ... in
window.onload = function () {
var brands = document.getElementById("brands"),
model = document.getElementById("model"),
movement = document.getElementById("movement");
for (var brand in watches) {
brands.options[brands.options.length] = new Option(brand);
}
brands.onchange = function () {
if (this.selectedIndex < 1) return; // done
for (var modelValue of watches[this.value].Model) {
model.options[model.options.length] = new Option(modelValue);
}
}
brands.onchange(); // reset in case page is reloaded
model.onchange = function () {
if (this.selectedIndex < 1) return; // done
var movementValue = watches[brands.value].Movement;
for (var i = 0; i < movementValue.length; i++) {
movement.options[movement.options.length] = new Option( movementValue[i].label, movementValue[i].Id);
}
}
}
watches();

disabling options in a dropdown based on another dropdown

I am trying to disable/remove options in a dropdown, based on the selection of other dropdown options.
But the dropdown/selector we have to choose from, has a sub-dropdown list and both main and sub dropdowns are
sharing the same classes and ids but since both are wrapped in different divs with different ids, I have been
trying to access the second selector but couldn't .
Below is the js code that I used for this;
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("lvl1").querySelector("select").onchange = function()
{
if(this.value=="8"){
var bikeSizes = document.getElementById("pa_size[]");
for ( var i = 1; i <8; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].removeAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
for ( var i = 8; i < 12; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
} else {
var bikeSizes = document.getElementById("pa_size[]");
for ( var i = 1; i < 8; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
for ( var i = 8; i < 12; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].removeAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
return false;
};
</script>
The html code of the selector/dropdowns are;
— Select —
Camping
Road Sports
Snow Sports
Water Sports
<div id="lvl1" level="1" style="">
<select data-required="yes" data-type="select" name="product_cat" id="product_cat" class="cat-ajax product_cat wpuf_product_cat_">
<option value="-1">— Select —</option>
<option class="level-0" value="8">Bikes</option>
</select>
<span data-taxonomy="{"required":"yes","name":"product_cat","exclude_type":"child_of","exclude":"camping,road-sports,water-sports","orderby":"name","order":"ASC"}"></span>
</div>

I fixed the quote then put it in an onload function. Also, there is no second argument on a removeAttribute. This worked for me.
<script>
window.onload = function () {
document.getElementById("product_cat").onchange = function () {
if (this.value == "8") {
var bikeSizes = document.getElementById("pa_size[]");
for (var i = 1; i < 8; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].removeAttribute("disabled");
}
for (var i = 8; i < 12; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
} else {
var bikeSizes = document.getElementById("pa_size[]");
for (var i = 1; i < 8; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
for (var i = 8; i < 12; i++) {
bikeSizes.options[i].removeAttribute("disabled");
}
}
return false;
};
}
</script>
<!-- my test html -->
<div id="lvl1" level="1" style="">
<select data-required="yes" data-type="select" name="product_cat" id="product_cat" class="cat-ajax product_cat wpuf_product_cat_">
<option value="-1">— Select —</option>
<option class="level-0" value="8">Bikes</option>
</select>
<span data-taxonomy="{"required":"yes","name":"product_cat","exclude_type":"child_of","exclude":"camping,road-sports,water-sports","orderby":"name","order":"ASC"}"></span>
<select id="pa_size[]">
<option value="-1">--Select--</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="12">12</option>
<option value="13">13</option>
</select>
</div>

Based on what I saw on your website, here is an alternative solution:
<script>
var group1 = [ { value:"33", text:"Small Unisex"},
{ value:"34", text:"Large Unisex"},
{ value:"35", text:"XL Unisex"},
{ value:"36", text:"Small Womens"},
{ value:"37", text:"Medium Womens"},
{ value:"38", text:"Large Womens"},
{ value:"39", text:"XL Womens"}];
var group2 = [{value:"40", text:"Medium"},
{value:"41", text:"Small"},
{ value:"43", text:"XL"},
{ value:"42", text:"Large"}];
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("product_cat").onchange = function () {
var bikeSizes = document.getElementById("pa_size[]");
bikeSizes.innerHTML = "";
bikeSizes.appendChild(new Option("--Select--", "-1"));
bikeSizes.disabled = false;
if (this.value == "-1") {
bikeSizes.disabled = true;
}
else if (this.value == "8") {
for (var i = 0; i < group1.length; ++i){
var opt = new Option(group1[i].text, group1[i].value);
bikeSizes.appendChild(opt);
}
} else {
for (var i = 0; i < group2.length; ++i) {
var opt = new Option(group2[i].text, group2[i].value);
bikeSizes.appendChild(opt);
}
}
return false;
};
}
</script>

so is this closer to what you need? This is 3 select boxes where you can only see the second one after the first one has a valid selection. Then you can only see the third one when the second one has a valid choice.
The options available is dependent on its master select box.
you can see it work here http://jsbin.com/nijahoh/edit?html,js,output
<script>
var fakeData = {
group1: [{ value: "group3", text: "3" }, { value: "group4", text: "4" }],
group2: [{ value: "group5", text: "5" }, { value: "group6", text: "6" }],
group3: [{ value: "group7", text: "7" }, { value: "group8", text: "8" }],
group4: [{ value: "group9", text: "9" }, { value: "group10", text: "10" }]
};
$(document).ready(function(){
// first select box change handler
$("#product_cat").on("change", function () {
var val = this.value;
$("#d").val("-1");
setUpSel($("#d"), val);
$("#d").trigger("change");
$("#d").css("display", val=="-1"?"none":"");
});
$("#d").on("change", function () {
var val = this.value;
$("#c").val("-1");
setUpSel($("#c"), val);
$("#c").trigger("change");
$("#c").css("display", val == "-1" ? "none" : "");
});
});
function setUpSel($sel, group) {
$sel.html("<option value='-1'>--Select--</option>");
var selData = fakeData[group];
$.each(selData, function (i, opt) {
$sel.append(new Option(opt.text, opt.value));
});
}
</script>

Country and State selection using html and Javascript

I have applied the logic in view.jsp in Liferay to show the state list on State drop down based on the Country selected from the Country drop down. I have used html and java script to achieve this goal of showing the state drop down for the selected country from drop down list. Currently, when I first load the form, both of the Country and the state label with drop down is displaying. The state drop down is empty at first. Then when I select country, Example: USA, state drop down is changed to the state list related to USA which is working as expected. But, I want to not show the state drop down and State label at first when form is loaded as it will be empty and there will be "Select Country" option only selected in Country drop down. This is not working for me. Any idea what should I do to make State label and drop down to show at first when form loads and just to show state drop down list only when the country is selected from Country drop down?
Below is the html and java script code that I have:
<select name="<portlet:namespace/>Country" id="countryId" onchange="javascript:countryChange()">
<option value="0">Select Country</option>
<option value='US'>United States</option>
<option value='CA'>Canada</option>
</select>
<label id="stateLabel">State:</label>
<select name="<portlet:namespace/>State" id="stateId">
</select>
<!--Country and State Change Javascript-->
<script>
function CountryChange() {
var countryState = [
[
'US', [
['', 'State/Province'],
['AL', 'Alabama'],
['AK', 'Alaska'],
['AZ', 'Arizona'],
['AR', 'Arkansas'],
], ],
[
'CA', [
['', 'State/Province'],
['AB', 'Alberta'],
['BC', 'British Columbia'],
['MB', 'Manitoba'],
['NB', 'New Brunswick'],
]]
];
var countryElement = document.getElementById('countryId');
var stateElement = document.getElementById('stateId');
var stateLabelElement = document.getElementById('stateLabel');
if (countryElement && stateElement) {
var listOfState = [
['XX', 'None']
];
var currentCountry = countryElement.options[countryElement.selectedIndex].value;
for (var i = 0; i < countryState.length; i++) {
if (currentCountry == countryState[i][0]) {
listOfState = countryState[i][1];
}
}
if (listOfstate.length < 2)
{
stateElement.style.display = 'none';
stateLabelElement.style.display = 'none';
}
else
{
stateElement.style.display = 'inline';
stateLabelElement.style.display = 'inline';
}
var selectedState;
for (var i = 0; i < stateElement.length; i++) {
if (stateElement.options[i].selected === true) {
selectedState = stateElement.options[i].value;
}
}
stateElement.options.length = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < listOfState.length; i++) {
stateElement.options[i] = new Option(listOfState[i][1], listOfState[i][0]);
if (listOfState[i][0] == selectedState) {
stateElement.options[i].selected = true;
}
}
}
}
</script>

You had a lot of mis-spellings. Check this out: https://jsfiddle.net/jj8we58t/1/
I also set the initial display to none for the stateLabel and stateId elements.
<label id="stateLabel" style="display: none">State:</label>
<select name="<portlet:namespace/>State" style="display: none" id="stateId">

Your code was close, but due to some inconsistencies in variable names, it failed to function. For instance, your onchange event is bound to countryChange, but your function is named CountryChange. It's a good idea to drop your script into some sort of validator like jsHint to analyze why your code isn't working as expected.
with a couple tweaks and those inconsistencies ironed out, it appears to be functioning as expected now
HTML:
<select name="<portlet:namespace/>Country" id="countryId" onchange="window.CountryChange()">
<option value="0">Select Country</option>
<option value='US'>United States</option>
<option value='CA'>Canada</option>
</select>
<div id="stateField" style="display:none">
<label id="stateLabel">State:</label>

Creating multiple Select options from an Object

Im stack on creating multiple select options
I have an Object with multi objects inside and want create select options in condition of the previous select option , i provide js fiddle for better understanding .
my objectif is
first select category ----(then)---> select sex -----(then)---> select kind---(then)-->then select size
by this order from that Object.
i could do the select sex and it works but not kind and size.
this is my html
<form name="myform">
<div>
<select name="category_group" id="category_group" >
<option value="0">choose category</option>
<option value='401' > clothes </option>
<option value='403' > shoes </option>
</select>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<select id="clothing_sex" name="clothing_sex" onChange="showclothesKind(this.value,this.form.clothing_kind)">
<option value="0">choose Type»</option>
</select>
<select id="clothing_kind" name="clothing_kind">
<option value="0">choose clothes</option>
</select>
<select id="clothing_size" name="clothing_size">
<option value="0">choose size</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>
and js in the fiddle.
much appreciate your help.

This was kind of fun to play around with. Thanks for posting. I used the following:
var optionTemplate = "<option class='newOption'>sampleText</option>";
$(document).ready(function() {
var removeFromNextSelects = function(firstSelector) {
var selNum = sels.indexOf(firstSelector);
for (var i = selNum; i < sels.length; i++)
{
$(sels[i]).find('.option').remove();
}
};
var populateNextSelect = function(neededObject, targetSelector) {
removeFromNextSelects(targetSelector);
for (var key in neededObject)
{
var name;
neededObject[key].name ? name = neededObject[key].name : name = neededObject[key];
$(targetSelector).append(optionTemplate);
$('.newOption').val(key).html(name).removeClass('newOption').addClass('option');
}
};
var obj1 = {}, obj2 = {}, obj3 = {};
var sels = ["#clothing_sex", "#clothing_kind", "#clothing_size"];
$('#category_group').change(function() {
if ($(this).val() == 0)
{
removeFromNextSelects(sels[0]);
return;
}
obj1 = {};
var selection = $(this).val();
obj1 = clothes[selection];
populateNextSelect(obj1, sels[0]);
});
$('#clothing_sex').change(function() {
if ($(this).val() == 0)
{
removeFromNextSelects(sels[1]);
return;
}
obj2 = {};
var selection = $(this).val();
obj2 = obj1[selection].types;
populateNextSelect(obj2, sels[1]);
});
$('#clothing_kind').change(function() {
if ($(this).val() == 0)
{
removeFromNextSelects(sels[2]);
return;
}
obj3 = {};
var selection = $(this).val();
var arr = obj2[selection].sizes;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
{
obj3[Object.keys(arr[i])[0]] = arr[i][Object.keys(arr[i])[0]];
}
populateNextSelect(obj3, sels[2]);
});
});
Here's the fiddle
