Currently, I have an Text Field with AutoComplete item added to my page. I have a requirement to add a dropdown arrow button to the right of that item. The user should have the ability to use the features of AutoComplete but also have the ability to click the dropdown arrow to activate the list that appears from the AutoComplete item. For example, if the AutoComplete item is null and the user clicks the dropdown arrow, the list of all possible values should appear. However, if the user actually types something into the AutoComplete field, then the list of values will display specifically to what was keyed into the AutoComplete field.
Thus far I haven't come across any information online to help figure out how to achieve this task. Can anyone provide an solutions?
At the moment i have this functionality partially working... I have added the dropdown arrow as a button. When this button is clicked, it activates a dynamic action that executes JavaScript. The JavaScript I have is:
if ($(".ac_results").css("display") == "none"){
$(".ac_results").css("display","block");
}
else{
$(".ac_results").css("display","none");
}
This only works when the user has entered a value into the AutoComplete field (which initiates something in the background to create a with the class .ac_results). Then, the user removes the value keyed in and then clicks the dropdown arrows. The list appears for a split second then is gone. But if the button is clicked again the list of values appear and disappear as they should with the button clicks.
Any suggestions or solutions would be wonderful.
Thanks.
Use the Select2 Plugin instead. It has all the features you're looking for and will save you a lot of time getting all the CSS correct. Demo of it: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=64237:20:0:

I'm trying to build a Chrome Extension that autofills a website form. The form has several drop down menus. However, these are not coded with the HTML select object. Instead, they're coded with the HTML input text object (see the attached photo) (https://i.stack.imgur.com/6FynG.png).
I'd like to build functionality that mirrors selectedIndex and select one of the drop down menu items.
Is this possible?
I've tried 3 things:
I've used .execCommand to mimic the user typing into the input box to narrow down the number of drop downs that appear. This isn't a complete solution because the user must still click on the drop down menu.
I've used .innerHTML and similar methods to change the websites HTML, so that it matches the output of when a user selects an option from the drop down menu. This makes the website look like the user has selected an option, but it doesn't full work either. As soon as the user clicks outside of the input field, the field revers back to being empty (maybe the form is refreshing?)
I've explored using Selenium, but I don't think it makes much sense here. I'm trying to build a Chrome Extension for other users, rather than automate testing.
I work with anisotropic filtering. But now filtering occurs immediately after clicking on the button. Code: enter code herehttps://codepen.io/HutsonR/pen/OJMmKNL
I need the user to be able to select all the necessary settings(option) in select and after clicking the "Search" button, the necessary cards selected by the filter are displayed. How to configure the isotope script so that you do not need to click on the buttons from the isotope, but you need to select the desired option and after clicking on the "Search" button, the desired cards will be selected?
If you know another convenient plugin for the settings I need(by selecting the option and clicking on the button), you can recommend it) thank you in advance for your help! :) And sorry for my English. I'm from Russia :)
I'm using a WordPress theme and have a search box.
Before the search box appears, the user has to select a category from a dropdown list.
Once the user selects their category, they can then search by keyword within that category, using the search box.
My problem is, whatever keyword they type in, it searches the WHOLE website i.e. domain.com?s=keyword
I'm a beginner, so I thought the easiest way for me is to append the category name to the search, along with their keyword once they select it i.e. domain.com?s=keyword+category
I just don't know how to do this within the form.
Javascript/JQuery is too complex for me :(
Any ideas?
I have a very complicated Javascript/JQuery Leaflet map. There is supposed to be a Leaflet control with a dropdown select box. The select box pulls it's content via AJAX. It pulls the content correctly and the generated HTML is fine and can be seen. If I use the keyboard to highlight the select menu, I can use the arrow keys to change the value. However, I can't click on the select menu and see the drop down box. The click is being captured fine(checked with JQuery .click()).
I can't share the specific code because I'm not sure what's wrong and I can't share the whole thing because of security issues. So, my question is a little more general:
What kinds of errors/bugs should I be looking for if a select dropdown menu is not showing on click? What are various things I can check to see what is wrong?
Thanks.
Nevermind - known issue with Leaflet. Custom Control not working
I have a simple form that lists user names and for each user, the form displays a drop down box with a list of items that can be assigned to the user. Since it is often necessary to assign multiple items to a user, I need to display a button next to the drop down that says "add another item" which automatically inserts another an identical drop down box below the first one and preserves the selected option in the original drop down box.
You might be thinking - why not just display a series of radio buttons or checkboxes? Can't do that for two reasons, 1) the list of items is too long and 2) there are times when I need to assign the same item to a user twice.
I know this "add another item" button can be done in Javascript, I just don't know the code.
Here's an example of what I need to do (not working because there is no onClick function yet).

This has nothing to do with dynamically populating the items in the drop down box, so I've found it hard to search for solutions. Any help or links to resources much appreciated!
Here is a tutorial that I did a while ago on dynamically adding input elements via JavaScript. This should be a good starting point.
