I am using this code which is working well:
<select name="problemtype" class="survey_input" id="problemtype">
<option value="financial">financial</option>
<option value="legal">legal</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#problemtype").click(function(){
$(".for_rate").show();
});
</script>
However I want to use same code on a select option like below mentioned code. This is not working
<select name="problemtype" class="survey_input">
<option value="financial" id="problemtype">financial</option>
<option value="legal">legal</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#problemtype").click(function(){
$(".for_rate").show();
});
</script>
Reading between the lines of your problem, what you're trying to achieve is that the .for_rate element is only shown when the financial option is selected.
If this is the case, you need to hook to the change event of the select and check the val() that was chosen. Try this:
$("#problemtype").change(function() {
$(".for_rate").toggle($(this).val() == 'financial');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="problemtype" class="survey_input" id="problemtype">
<option value="financial">financial</option>
<option value="legal">legal</option>
</select>
<div class="for_rate">For rate...</div>
$("#problemtype") selects the element with the ID #problemtype. Use $(".survey_input[name='problemtype']") to select the element with the class survey_input and name problemtype
in you second function you are callin on id (usind #) so you are basicly calling this row
<option value="financial" id="problemtype">financial</option>
if you want to call the select either give it the id and not to the option or change the call to
<script type="text/javascript">
$("[name~='problemtype']").click(function(){
$(".for_rate").show();
});
</script>

In my database there's a column, name is Sequence & it consist of numbers(int). In my application's edit function I need to show that selected number in my jQuery dropdown list.
In my AJAX call I sent ProductId and get the specific row.
Html Control
<select class="form-control" id="drpsequence"></select>
My jQuery dropdown
$("#drpsequence option:selected").append($("<option></option>").val(msg._prodlng[0].Sequence).text(msg._prodlng[0].Sequence));
In the above code msg._prodlng[0].Sequence comes as selected number
I'm not sure what you are trying to do but it looks like you are adding an <option> tag into another <option> tag which is most likely not what you want.
If the returned value already exists as a selected option:
$("#drpsequence").val(msg._prodlng[0].Sequence).prop('selected', true);
Or, if you need to add an option:
var opt = $("<option>")
.val(msg._prodlng[0].Sequence)
.text(msg._prodlng[0].Sequence);
$("#drpsequence").append(opt);
Snippet example:
// foo --> select
$('#foo').val('baz').prop('selected', true);
$('#bim').click(function(){
$('#foo').append('<option id="boop" value="boop">boop</option>'); //<-- or loaded value
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="foo">
<option>-- select --</option>
<option id="bar" value="bar">bar</option>
<option id="baz" value="baz">baz</option>
</select>
<button id="bim">Add an option</button>
You need to do one of following.
Either find that option and make that selected = true like this.
$("#sel option").each(function(i) {
if ($(this).val() == "Orange") $(this).attr("selected", "true");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="sel">
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Orange</option>
<option>Banana</option>
</select>
Or if that option is not found then add and make that selected = true.
Like the one, which you had in your question.
I'd like to remove the first option of an select tag when I click on the select tag. Is this possible?
I don't want to see the first option after that click.
Thanks for any help.
You can remove the first option on click with jQuery.
$(document).on('click', 'select', function() {
$(this).find('option').get(0).remove();
});
This simply removes the first option of a select tag on click. You need to add an if statement to check if it was already removed.
There's also a simple no-javascript solution:
<select>
<option style="display: none">--Choose--</option>
<option>Cheese Cake</option>
<option>Hot Pockets</option>
<option>Sausage</option>
<option>Cookies</option>
<option>Bacon</option>
</select>
(Copied from the comments from #chipChocolate.py)
If you use bootstrap add placeholder attribute in your select.
If your not
<select required>
<option value="" disabled selected>Select your option</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
// to remove first...
document.getElementById("element_id_str").options[0].remove();
//to remove the lot...
document.getElementById("element_id_str").options.length = 0;
<select required>
<option value="" disabled selected hidden>Select your option</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
Probably you just want this:
<select required>
<option value="" hidden>Select your option</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
</select>
A very naive way of doing this:
$("#selector").change(function(evt) { //listen to changes of selection
var theElement = $(this);
if (!theElement.data("selected")) { //check if flag is not set
theElement.children("option")[0].remove(); //remove 1st child
theElement.data("selected", true); //set flag, so it doesn't continue removing items for every change
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="selector">
<option>--Choose--</option>
<option>Apple</option>
<option>Banana</option>
<option>Papaya</option>
</select>
If you want to remove the first option use this
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("select").children().first().remove();
});
If you want to remove the first option after clicking on the select box use this
$(document).ready(function()
{
var removed=false;
$(document).on("click","select",function()
{
if(!removed)
{
$(this).children().first().remove();
removed=true;
}
});
});
Javascript:
document.getElementById("SelectId")[0].remove();
Get the first option in the select and remove it.
I had the same problem, but the solutions above just work with one form, not with many. I added some extra code in order to validate it for many in your form:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(document).on("change","select",function()
{
var x = $(this).children().first().attr("name");
var n = x.localeCompare("todelete");
if (n == 0)
$(this).children().first().remove();
});
});
Where "todelete" is the name for all first elements [0] defined inside the
Please select value //all first elem must have the same name
"> //the others another name (can be the same BUT not "todelete")
You need the id or class to remove the item. While testing and debugging I found 'option:first' fails to remove the item. But 'option:first-of-type' always does the work. You can get more info about 'first-of-type' here :first-of-type
$("#ID_or_.CLASS option:first-of-type").remove();
I am using a lightbox called featherlight. I have a form inside of that lightbox that requires a dynamic select option to change the content of the next question select box.
The select box works outside of the lightbox yet inside it fails.
Any ideas where I appear to be going wrong?
<select>
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
<select>
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('select').change(function(){ // when one changes
$('select').val( $(this).val() ) // they all change
})
})
</script>
Your HTML is most likely being added after the handlers are bound - you can use .on to get around this:
$(document).on("change", "select", function() {
$('select').val( this.value )
});
You should replace document with a container that is present at the time of page load and contains your dynamic content - else this event is going to fire each time the document is changed (and check if a select was actually changed)
With a common class:
<select class="common">
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
<select class="common">
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
$(document).on("change", "select.common", function() {
$("select.common").not(this).val( this.value ) //added .not(this) since we dont need to change the value of the select being interacted with
});
have unique id for both select as follow
<select id='select1'>
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
<select id='select2'>
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="222">222</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#select1').change(function(){ // when one changes
$('#select2').val( $(this).val() ) // they all change
})
})
</script>
Updated
I guess you are accessing parent element from child window
try the following
window.parent.$(#select2.val( $(this).val());
I am trying to figure out a way to display a some text based on the drop down item selected by the user, in the "result" div below. I know how to do this with a normal input field but I am having trouble understanding how to pass in "option values" into the javascript function. This is what I tried so far...
In the code below, I am simply trying to successfully pass whatever drop down item value is selected into the javascript function and print out the name of that value in the "result" div... once I am able to do that, I will implement the 'tip' feature described above.
My Markup:
<select onChange="dropdownTip(this.value)" name="search_type" style="margin-right:10px; margin-top:2px;">
<option selected="selected" value="fruit_search">fruits</option>
<option value="veggies_search">veggies</option>
<option value="animals_search">animals</option>
<option value="all_search">all</option>
</select>
<div id="result"></div>
My JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function dropdownTip(value){
document.getElementByID("result").innerHTML = value;
}
</script>
Is this what you wanted? check the fiddle below
http://jsfiddle.net/b6ydm/
Try this:
<select onChange="dropdownTip()" id="select" name="search_type" style="margin-right:10px; margin-top:2px;">
<option selected="selected" value="fruit_search">fruits</option>
<option value="veggies_search">veggies</option>
<option value="animals_search">animals</option>
<option value="all_search">all</option>
</select>
<div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dropdownTip(){
var value = document.getElementById('select').value;
document.getElementByID("result").innerHTML = value;
}
</script>
I have the dropdown below. I want to populate orange in the dropdown when the page loads. I made a function, PopulateDropDown, which runs the jQuery code to do so, but it is not working.
<select name="cboFruits" id="cboFruits">
<option value="Apple">Apple</option>
<option value="Orange">Orange</option>
<option value="Mango">Mango</option>
<option value="Banana">Banana</option>
<option value="Pine">Pine</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript" src ="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function PopulateDropDown(pFruitName)
{
$('cboFruits :selected').val(pFruitName);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
PopulateDropDown('Orange');
});
</script>
Well, there are a few problems with your code:
$('cboFruits :selected').val(pFruitName);
First of all, you're missing the # in front of cboFruits, since cboFruits is the ID property of your select list.
Also the correct way of setting the selected option would be something like this:
function PopulateDropDown(pFruitName)
{
$('#cboFruits option:contains("'+pFruitName+'")').prop('selected', true);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
PopulateDropDown('Orange');
});
Ref this question How do you select a particular option in a SELECT element in jQuery?
You forgot to write ** # ** and remove selected
$('#cboFruits').val(pFruitName);
EDIT :
or you use
<option value="Orange" selected="true">Orange</option>
when page by default 'Orange' will be selected
It should work:
function PopulateDropDown(pFruitName)
{
$('#cboFruits').val(pFruitName);
}
