Disable the Drop down options - javascript

I want to disable the drop down options based on the condition. I want to disable all the other options except the option which has the text "Java".
Ex:
<select id="ddlList">
<option value="csharp">C#</option>
<option value="vb">VB.NET</option>
<option value="jquery">jQuery</option>
<option value="java">Java</option>
</select>
In this case Only java option should be enable and others should be disable.

JQuery :
$('#ddlList option:not([value=java])').prop('disabled', true);
JSFiddle
JavaScript :
var filter = document.querySelectorAll('#ddlList option:not([value=java])')
Object.keys(filter).forEach( function(g){ filter[g].disabled = true })
JSFiddle

function optionDisable(selectId, optionIndex){
document.getElementById(selectId).children[optionIndex].disabled="disabled";
}
or
document.getElementById(optionid).style.display = 'none';
or
function makeDisable(){
var a=document.getElementById("ddllist")
a.disabled=true
}

Use the disabled property.
$("#ddlList option[value!='java']").prop("disabled", true);
If you want more control, in a more practical way, you can go over each option:
$("#ddlList option").each(function () {
var allowed = ["java"];
if (allowed.indexOf($(this).val()) === -1) {
$(this).prop("disabled", true);
}
});

You can write your code like this:
Select Language: <select id="ddlList">
<option value="csharp">C#</option>
<option value="vb">VB.NET</option>
<option value="jquery">jQuery</option>
<option value="java">Java</option>
</select>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
var condition = true;
if(condition)
{
$("select option").prop('disabled',true);
$("select option[value='java']").removeAttr('disabled');
$("select").val("java")
}
else
{
//apply your logic here
}
});
Demo Fiddle

$("#ddlList option").each(function(){
if(!$(this).val().contains("java"))
$(this).attr('disabled', true);
});
This code lets you set the disabled attribute of each dropdown option by checking if its value contains "java"

Remove working on JQuery options, Hide does not?

Got this HTML:
<select class="trackChanges department" id="DepartmentID_0" name="DepartmentID_0">
<option value="3">DC</option>
<option value="5">PL</option>
<option value="7">SA</option>
</select>
Iterating over the options with this javascript & jQuery:
var departmentDDL = $(row).find('[id*="DepartmentID_"] > option');
departmentDDL.each(function () {
if ($(this)[0].innerHTML != "SA") {
$(this).hide(); // this does not work
$(this).remove(); // this works
}
});
I'm trying to hide the options, not remove them. Why does one work and not the other?
You have an extra ( in your if, remove it, it will work but only in Chrome with a little buggy behavior.
var departmentDDL = $('[id*="DepartmentID_"] > option');
departmentDDL.each(function() {
if ($(this)[0].innerHTML != "SA") {
$(this).hide(); // this does not work
//$(this).remove(); // this works
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="trackChanges department" id="DepartmentID_0" name="DepartmentID_0">
<option value="3" >DC</option>
<option value="5">PL</option>
<option value="7">SA</option>
</select>
Note that hiding HTML options has several issues cross browser and won't give expected results in some browsers, for further details check How to hide a <option> in a <select> menu with CSS?
remove extra ( here if (($(this)[0] and it will work
var departmentDDL = $('[id*="DepartmentID_"] > option');
departmentDDL.each(function () {
if ($(this)[0].innerHTML != "SA") {
$(this).hide(); // this does not work
//$(this).remove(); // this works
}else{
$(this).parent().val($(this).val()).change();
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="trackChanges department" id="DepartmentID_0" name="DepartmentID_0">
<option value="3">DC</option>
<option value="5">PL</option>
<option value="7">SA</option>
</select>

display data related to a dropdown option

I have a drop down list
<select name="column_select" id="column_select">
<option value="col1">1 column</option>
<option value="col2">2 column</option>
<option value="col3">3 column</option>
</select>
On clicking an option i want to display the details of the particular option in the same page.
How can this be implemented using jquery?
function showval(value)
{
var text = $("#column_select option:selected").text();
var string = "Value is: "+value+" and Text is: "+text;
$("#showvalue").html(string);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="showvalue">
</div>
<select name="column_select" id="column_select" onchange="showval(this.value);">
<option value="col1">1 column</option>
<option value="col2">2 column</option>
<option value="col3">3 column</option>
</select>
It should help you.
use this jquery
jquery
$('select.column_select').on('change', function(){
var selectVal = $(this).val();
if(selectVal==col1){
// do something
};
if(selectVal==col2){
// do something
};
if(selectVal==col3){
// do something
};
});
You can subscribe to the change event for the select and perform the details display based on the current value in the select:
$("#column_select").on("change", function () {
var value = $(this).val();
// logic based on selected value
});
try this...
$(document).on('change','#column_select',function() {
// Code to write it anywhere on page.
// If you want it to write on `span#spnDisplay` then use this
var selText = $('#column_select option:selected').text();
$('#spnDisplay').text(selText)
});

How to check if drop-down is selected in JavaScript

I have a validator function looping through to check and see if all inputs have been filled out, but I also need to check if the dropdown's have been selected as well. I would like to write that into the same function.
function validateSave (){
// reset status
var good = true
$('.errormessage-left').removeClass('active-left')
$('input').removeClass("warning")
$('input').each(function(){
if ($(this).val() == "") {
console.log("found an empty");
good = false
$(this).addClass("warning")
$('.errormessage-left').addClass('active-left'),
$('.modal').addClass('modal-active');
}
})
console.log(good)
return good
}
What's the best way to go about this?
You can use val() on a dropdown (<select> element) just like an input element, so just include it in your selector
$('input, select').each(function(){
You can do this :
Assuming the first element is :"please choose..."
if ($(".myDDL").get(0).selectedIndex>0)...
or
if ($(".myDDL").prop('selectedIndex')>0)...
Try this:
$('input').each(function(){
if($(this).prop('selected') == true){
// selected item
}
});
Assuming your HTML looks something like this:
<input type="text" name="whatever">
<select>
<option value="">Choose One...</option>
<option value="choice1">Choice 1</option>
<option value="choice2">Choice 2</option>
<option value="choice3">Choice 3</option>
</select>
Then your jQuery can figure it out like this
$('input, select').each(function(){
if($(this).val() == ''){
alert('Cannot be blank!');
}
else{
//proceed
}
}
you should be able to add this to your loop:
if ($(this).prop('type')=='select-one'){
if ($(this).prop('selectedIndex')==0){
console.log("found an empty");
good = false
$(this).addClass("warning")
$('.errormessage-left').addClass('active-left'),
$('.modal').addClass('modal-active');
}
}

Why isn't drop down changing based on other value?

I'm not sure why this isn't working. Anyone care to take a stab?
I have a form with the below. When the user selects the "disabled" option in #frmcomments, I'd like #frmstatus to change to the option value of private.
<label for="type">Comments:</label>
<select class="sort-select" id="frmcomments" name="frmcomments">
<option value="enabled">Allow Comments</option>
<option value="disabled">No Comments</option>
</select>
<label for="type">Status:</label>
<select class="sort-select" id="frmstatus" name="frmstatus">
<option value="public">Anyone can see</option>
<option value="private">Only I can see</option>
</select>
I'm using the following jquery, but it's failing?
$('#frmcomments').change(function() {
var thistype = $(this).find(":selected").val();
if(thistype=="disabled") {
$("#frmstatus").val("private");
}
return false;
});
Check your thistype value. You should be able to call val() on the select and you shouldn't have to call .find(":selected") to get the selected list item.
$('#frmcomments').change(function() {
var thistype = $(this).val();
if(thistype=="disabled") {
$("#frmstatus").val("private").change();
}
return false;
});
var thistype = $(this).find(":selected").val();
try this
var thistype = $(this).val();

jQuery select option elements by value

I have a select element wrapped by a span element. I am not allowed to use the select id but I am allowed to use the span id.
I am trying to write a javascript/jquery function in which the input is a number i, which is one of the values of the select's options. The function will turn the relevant option to selected.
<span id="span_id">
<select id="h273yrjdfhgsfyiruwyiywer" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">cleaning</option>
<option value="2">food-2</option>
<option value="3">toilet</option>
<option value="4">baby</option>
<option value="6">knick-knacks</option>
<option value="9">junk-2</option>
<option value="10">cosmetics</option>
</select>
</span>
I wrote something as follows (this does not completely work, which is why I am posting this question):
function select_option(i) {
options = $('#span_id').children('select').children('option');
//alert(options.length); //7
//alert(options[0]); //[object HTMLOptionElement]
//alert(options[0].val()); //not a jquery element
//alert(options[0].value); //1
//the following does not seem to work since the elements of options are DOM ones not jquery's
option = options.find("[value='" + i + "']");
//alert(option.attr("value")); //undefined
option.attr('selected', 'selected');
}
Thanks!
Here's the simplest solution with a clear selector:
function select_option(i) {
return $('span#span_id select option[value="' + i + '"]').html();
}
With jQuery > 1.6.1 should be better to use this syntax:
$('#span_id select option[value="' + some_value + '"]').prop('selected', true);
Just wrap your option in $(option) to make it act the way you want it to. You can also make the code shorter by doing
$('#span_id > select > option[value="input your i here"]').attr("selected", "selected")
options = $("#span_id>select>option[value='"+i+"']");
option = options.text();
alert(option);
here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/hRFYF/
You can use .val() to select the value, like the following:
function select_option(i) {
$("#span_id select").val(i);
}
Here is a jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/tweissin/uscq42xh/8/
To get the value just use this:
<select id ="ari_select" onchange = "getvalue()">
<option value = "1"></option>
<option value = "2"></option>
<option value = "3"></option>
<option value = "4"></option>
</select>
<script>
function getvalue()
{
alert($("#ari_select option:selected").val());
}
</script>
this will fetch the values
function select_option(index)
{
var optwewant;
for (opts in $('#span_id').children('select'))
{
if (opts.value() = index)
{
optwewant = opts;
break;
}
}
alert (optwewant);
}
You can change with simple javascript
document.querySelector('#h273yrjdfhgsfyiruwyiywer').value='4'
<span id="span_id">
<select id="h273yrjdfhgsfyiruwyiywer" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">cleaning</option>
<option value="2">food-2</option>
<option value="3">toilet</option>
<option value="4">baby</option>
<option value="6">knick-knacks</option>
<option value="9">junk-2</option>
<option value="10">cosmetics</option>
</select>
</span>
$("#h273yrjdfhgsfyiruwyiywer").children('[value="' + i + '"]').prop("selected", true);
