Populated Select with html + JS

I have this Fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/Ardee12/tL643rjq/3/
My problem is, I always get the same options at the third select from second select (vice versa), after I select an option from the first one. I need to stick for their own option (second and third select), but still have the populated function from their "rel" attribute. Can anyone please help me?
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".mainSelect").change(function() {
if ($(this).data('options') === undefined) {
$(this).data('options', $('.kidSelect option').clone());
}
var rel = this.options[this.selectedIndex].getAttribute('rel');
var options = $(this).data('options').filter('[rel=' + rel + ']');
$('.kidSelect').html(options);
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="mainSelect">
<option rel="1">Fruit</option>
<option rel="2">Animal</option>
<option rel="3">Bird</option>
<option rel="4">Car</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect">
<option rel="1">Banana</option>
<option rel="1">Apple</option>
<option rel="1">Orange</option>
<option rel="2">Wolf</option>
<option rel="2">Fox</option>
<option rel="2">Bear</option>
<option rel="3">Eagle</option>
<option rel="3">Hawk</option>
<option rel="4">BWM</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect">
<option rel="1">AAAAA</option>
<option rel="2">BBBBB</option>
<option rel="3">CCCCC</option>
</select>

You need to treat each of the kidSelect individually. Loop through each of them at the beginning and store a clone of their own options in each instance.
Then when you change main select, filter each set separately
// store a clone of each kidSelect options on page load
$('.kidSelect').each(function() {
$(this).data('options', $(this).children().clone());
});
$(".mainSelect").change(function() {
var rel = this.options[this.selectedIndex].getAttribute('rel');
// filter each kids options and set in place
$('.kidSelect').html(function() {
return $(this).data('options').filter('[rel=' + rel + ']').clone();
});
// trigger the change on page load also to do initial filtering
}).change();
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="mainSelect">
<option rel="1">Fruit</option>
<option rel="2">Animal</option>
<option rel="3">Bird</option>
<option rel="4">Car</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect">
<option rel="1">Banana</option>
<option rel="1">Apple</option>
<option rel="1">Orange</option>
<option rel="2">Wolf</option>
<option rel="2">Fox</option>
<option rel="2">Bear</option>
<option rel="3">Eagle</option>
<option rel="3">Hawk</option>
<option rel="4">BWM</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect">
<option rel="1">AAAAA</option>
<option rel="2">BBBBB</option>
<option rel="3">CCCCC</option>
</select>

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do but here is a guess.
I think you only want to effect the second select with the changes. For that you need to adjust your selector. It currently selects both selects.
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".mainSelect").change(function() {
if ($(this).data('options') === undefined) {
$(this).data('options', $('.js-kidSelect option').clone());
}
var rel = this.options[this.selectedIndex].getAttribute('rel');
var options = $(this).data('options').filter('[rel=' + rel + ']');
$('.js-kidSelect').html(options);
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="mainSelect">
<option rel="1">Fruit</option>
<option rel="2">Animal</option>
<option rel="3">Bird</option>
<option rel="4">Car</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect js-kidSelect">
<option rel="1">Banana</option>
<option rel="1">Apple</option>
<option rel="1">Orange</option>
<option rel="2">Wolf</option>
<option rel="2">Fox</option>
<option rel="2">Bear</option>
<option rel="3">Eagle</option>
<option rel="3">Hawk</option>
<option rel="4">BWM</option>
</select>
<select class="kidSelect">
<option rel="1">AAAAA</option>
<option rel="2">BBBBB</option>
<option rel="3">CCCCC</option>

How to modify javascript code to keep values from multiple html drop down menus

I have 3 html drop down menu's and I try to keep the values selected after submitting the form
<select name="select_zone" id="select_zone">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
this is the javascript:
<script>
document.getElementById("select_zone").onchange = function() {
localStorage['select_zone'] = document.getElementById("select_zone").value;
}
window.onload= function(){
if(localStorage['select_zone'])
document.getElementById("select_zone").value = localStorage['select_zone'];
}
</script>
This works, but the problem is that if I copy the code 2 more times for the other drop down menus, only 1 menu at a time keep the values.
How would you change the js code so that all menu's keep the values?

You have to give 3 different ids, something like that (not tested):
<select name="select_zone_1" id="select_zone_1">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<select name="select_zone_2" id="select_zone_2">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<select name="select_zone_3" id="select_zone_3">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
Javascript:
for (let i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
let id = `select_zone_${i}`;
document.getElementById(id).onchange = function() {
localStorage[id] = document.getElementById(id).value;
}
window.onload = function() {
if (localStorage[id]) {
document.getElementById(id).value = localStorage[id];
}
}
}
You can remove the name attribute if you don't need it elsewhere.
EDIT
In order to be more reliable, you can try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<select class="storable" id="select_zone_1">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<select class="storable" id="select_zone_2">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<select class="storable" id="select_zone_3">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<script>
function getStorableElements() {
return document.querySelectorAll('.storable');
}
for (const element of getStorableElements()) {
element.onchange = () => localStorage[element.id] = element.value;
}
window.onload = () => {
for (const element of getStorableElements()) {
const id = element.id;
if (localStorage[id]) {
element.value = localStorage[id];
}
}
}
</script>
</body>

Disable 3th, 4th dropdown list if 1st or 2nr are selected

I have this issue: In my form there are 4 dropdownlist and when the 1st (category1) or 2nd (software1) dropdown list is selected, the 3th (category2) and 4th (software2) must be disabled.
For this issue I find this script at disable-second-dropdown-if-the-first-is-not-selected but I do not trust to modify this:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
category1
<select name='cat1'>
<option value='0'>Select one</option>
<option value='1'>little</option>
<option value='2'>good</option>
</select>
software1
<select name='soft1'>
<option value=''>Select one</option>
<option value='W'>Word</option>
<option value='E'>Excel</option>
<option value='PP'>Power Point</option>
</select>
<br />
category2
<select name='cat2'>
<option value='0'>Select one</option>
<option value='1'>little</option>
<option value='2'>good</option>
</select>
software2
<select name='soft2'>
<option value=''>Select one</option>
<option value='W'>Word</option>
<option value='E'>Excel</option>
<option value='PP'>Power Point</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
var setEnabled = function(e) {
var name = this.name.replace(/1/, '2'); //get name for second drop down
$('select[name=' + name + ']')
.prop('disabled', 0 === this.selectedIndex) // disable if selected option is first one
};
$(function() {
$('select[name=cat1], select[name=soft1]')
.on('change', setEnabled)
.trigger('change'); // trigger on page load
});
</script>
How to modify this?
Thanks

I think the main thing you want is to flip === for !==
However, to get this working on a matrix, where both top inputs trigger enabling/disabling of both bottom inputs, you'll need to test both on change of either.
var setEnabled = function(e) {
var selected = $('select[name=cat1]').prop('selectedIndex') > 0 || $('select[name=soft1]').prop('selectedIndex') > 0;
$('select[name=cat2], select[name=soft2]').prop('disabled', selected); // disable if selected option is first one
if (selected) {
$('select[name=cat2], select[name=soft2]').prop('selectedIndex', 0)
}
};
$(function() {
$('select[name=cat1], select[name=soft1]')
.on('change', setEnabled)
.trigger('change'); // trigger on page load
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</script>

Send select value to JS function

I have the next menu in HTML:
<select name="p1">
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
Now, I want to send it to my JS function:
function myFunc(menuValue){
//do something
}
How can I do it?

Something like this :
Javascript :
var selectObj = document.querySelector("#selectID"),
displayObj = document.querySelector(".display");
selectObj.onchange = function(evt){
myFunc(this.value);
}
function myFunc(menuValue){
displayObj.innerHTML = menuValue;
}
HTML :
<select id = "selectID" name="p1">
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
<div class='display'></div>
http://jsfiddle.net/NeekGerd/4H5aq/

So you want to get the value of the selected option onchange of option value right? You can try this way:-
http://jsfiddle.net/T8CKU/
<select name="p1" onchange="myfunc(this.value);">
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
function myFunc(menuValue){
alert(menuValue)
}
Here inside myFunc the context of `this would be the window. If you want to get the context inside the window as the dropdown itself you can use apply or call.
<select name="p1" onchange="myFunc.call(this);">
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
function myFunc(){
alert(this.value); //This will give the value again.
}

The select element in HTML offers an onchange event that fires if you select a new value (new = an option that was not selected).
<select name="p1" onchange="myFunc(option);">
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
function myFunc(option) {
// whatever you need to do
};

jQuery remove SELECT options based on another SELECT selected (Need support for all browsers)

Say I have this dropdown:
<select id="theOptions1">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
I want it so that when the user selects 1, this is the thing that the user can choose for dropdown 2:
<select id="theOptions2">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="c">c</option>
</select>
Or if the user selects 2:
<select id="theOptions2">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
Or if the user selects 3:
<select id="theOptions2">
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="c">c</option>
</select>
I tried the code posted here:
jQuery disable SELECT options based on Radio selected (Need support for all browsers)
But it doesn't work for selects.
Please help!
Thank you!
UPDATE:
I really like the answer Paolo Bergantino had on:
jQuery disable SELECT options based on Radio selected (Need support for all browsers)
Is there anyway to modify this to work with selects instead of radio buttons?
jQuery.fn.filterOn = function(radio, values) {
return this.each(function() {
var select = this;
var options = [];
$(select).find('option').each(function() {
options.push({value: $(this).val(), text: $(this).text()});
});
$(select).data('options', options);
$(radio).click(function() {
var options = $(select).empty().data('options');
var haystack = values[$(this).attr('id')];
$.each(options, function(i) {
var option = options[i];
if($.inArray(option.value, haystack) !== -1) {
$(select).append(
$('<option>').text(option.text).val(option.value)
);
}
});
});
});
};

This works (tested in Safari 4.0.1, FF 3.0.13):
$(document).ready(function() {
//copy the second select, so we can easily reset it
var selectClone = $('#theOptions2').clone();
$('#theOptions1').change(function() {
var val = parseInt($(this).val());
//reset the second select on each change
$('#theOptions2').html(selectClone.html())
switch(val) {
//if 2 is selected remove C
case 2 : $('#theOptions2').find('option:contains(c)').remove();break;
//if 3 is selected remove A
case 3 : $('#theOptions2').find('option:contains(a)').remove();break;
}
});
});
And the beautiful UI:
<select id="theOptions1">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<br />
<select id="theOptions2">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="c">c</option>
</select>

You can add classes to your <option>s to store which go with each value of #theOptions1:
<select id="theOptions2">
<option value="a" class="option-1 option-2">a</option>
<option value="b" class="option-1 option-2 option-3">b</option>
<option value="c" class="option-1 option-3">c</option>
</select>
then do this:
$(function() {
var allOptions = $('#theOptions2 option').clone();
$('#theOptions1').change(function() {
var val = $(this).val();
$('#theOptions2').html(allOptions.filter('.option-' + val));
});
});

For the record you can NOT remove options in a select list in Internet Explorer.

try this. this will definitely work
$(document).ready(function () {
var oldValue;
var oldText;
var className = '.ddl';
$(className)
.focus(function () {
oldValue = this.value;
oldText = $(this).find('option:selected').text();
})
.change(function () {
var newSelectedValue = $(this).val();
if (newSelectedValue != "") {
$('.ddl').not(this).find('option[value="' + newSelectedValue + '"]').remove();
}
if ($(className).not(this).find('option[value="' + oldValue + '"]').length == 0) { // NOT EXIST
$(className).not(this).append('<option value=' + oldValue + '>' + oldText + '</option>');
}
$(this).blur();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form action="/Home/Ex2" method="post">
<select class="ddl" id="A1" name="A1">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
<option value="4">D</option>
</select>
<hr />
<select class="ddl" id="A2" name="A2">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
<option value="4">D</option>
</select>
<hr />
<select class="ddl" id="A3" name="A3">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
<option value="4">D</option>
</select>
<hr />
<select class="ddl" id="A4" name="A4">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
<option value="4">D</option>
</select>
<hr />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save Data" id="btnSubmit" />
</form>

Actually, using the code below will remove a dropdown option just fine in IE, as long as it is not the selected option (it will not work on "a" without deselecting that option first):
var dropDownField = $('#theOptions2');
dropDownField.children('option:contains("b")').remove();
You just run this to remove whatever option you want to remove under a conditional statement with the first group (theOptions1) - that if one of those is selected, you run these lines:
var dropDownField = $('#theOptions2');
if ($('#theOptions1').val() == "2") {
dropDownField.children('option:contains("c")').remove();
}
if ($('#theOptions1').val() == "3") {
$("#theOptions2 :selected").removeAttr("selected");
$('#theOptions2').val('b');
dropDownField.children('option:contains("a")').remove();
}
