I have two dropdown boxes in a single form. How can I alert the values of both the dropdown boxes with onchange function on the second dropdown box without submitting the form.
<select name="abc1" id="abc1">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
<select name="abc2" id="abc2" onchange="getvalue()">
<option value="a">d</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
</select>
Try
function getValue() {
alert(document.getElementById('abc1').value);
alert(document.getElementById('abc2').value);
}
You have to bypass the form submission by using jquery as shown below:
$('#yourFormId').submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
alert($('#abc1').val());
alert($('#abc2').val());
});
1- you should try to learn Javascript or Jquery to accomplish these sort of tasks.
2- you should search before asking new questions
these questions have the answers anyway :
Get selected value in dropdown list using JavaScript?
Get drop down value
Let's write under your html this script
<script>
document.getElementById('abc2').onchange = function () {
alert( 'First value: ' + document.getElementById('abc1').value + '\n' +
'Second value: ' + this.value );
}
</script>

Im new to this so apologies if my question is not presented as it should be.
Basically, my aim is with jQuery is to make it so that when the field called 'Apple' is selected from the first dropdown box, the second dropdown box will only allow the field 'Firm' to be selected and the other two be disabled. However if any of the other fruits other than 'Apple' is selected from the first dropdown box then all of the options in the second dropdown box (texture dropdown) will be available to be chosen.
I have looked all over the internet for jQuery code to help me with this issue but as I am new to jQuery I have difficulty finding the solution I need.
Here is my HTML code:
<div class="ingredients_div">
<select name="ingredients_form" id="ingredients_form_1">
<option value="Apple" selected="">Apple</option>
<option value="Orange">Orange</option>
<option value="Lemon">Lemon</option>
<option value="Mango">Mango</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="texture_div">
<select name="texture_form" id="texture_form_1">
<option value="Firm" selected="">Firm</option>
<option value="Soft">Soft</option>
<option value="Blended">Blended</option>
</select>
</div>
Many thanks
please check this code , i think it works for you.
$("#select1").change(function() {
if ($(this).data('options') == undefined) {
/*Taking an array of all options-2 and kind of embedding it on the select1*/
$(this).data('options', $('#select2 option').clone());
}
var id = $(this).val();
var options = $(this).data('options').filter('[value=' + id + ']');
$('#select2').html(options);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="select1" id="select1">
<option value="1">Apple</option>
<option value="2">Orange</option>
<option value="3">Lemon</option>
</select>
<select name="select2" id="select2">
<option value="1">Firm</option>
<option value="2">Soft</option>
<option value="3">Blended</option>
</select>
To achieve what you mentioned, you need to use jQuery's event binding on the first select box. As soon as the value is changed, you need to write logic to enable/disable options in the second select box as per the value changed in the first box.
Here is how you can achieve it.
$("#ingredients_form_1").change(function() {
if ($(this).val() === "Apple") {
$("#texture_form_1 option").prop("disabled", true);
$("#texture_form_1 option[value='Firm']").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("#texture_form_1 option").prop("disabled", false);
}
});
Please go through jQuery's documentation to know more about selectors, event binding, and most importantly, in the next post, include what you've achieved till then.
I'm creating a form. I have two fields, 1. default value field and 2. preview field. Both are multiselect fields. The user will add the options to the multiselect manually. Whenever the user chooses an option in the default value, the same value should be shown as selected in the preview field. When the user removes one option, the same option should be unselected. This is how I've written the onchange event for this multiselect:
$("#MultiSelect_DefaultValues").change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
$("#MultiSelect_Preview").val($(this).val());
});
I get the correct value in the alert. But, in the preview field, there is no reaction. All the options available in the default value field are available in the preview field too. But, the options selected in the default value field is not selected in the preview field. What's wrong with this? What should I change, so that the changes in the default field reflects in the preview field too?
You said you are using select2 so execute like this:
$("#MultiSelect_DefaultValues").change(function () {
alert($(this).val());
var prevSelect = $("#MultiSelect_Preview").select2();
prevSelect.val($(this).val()).trigger('change');
});
The values on the option tags need to match for this, if I'm understanding correctly what you're trying to achieve that is.
e.g.
$("#MultiSelect_DefaultValues").change(function() {
console.log($(this).val());
$("#MultiSelect_Preview").val($(this).val());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="MultiSelect_DefaultValues" multiple>
<option value="one">One</option>
<option value="two">Two</option>
<option value="three">Three</option>
</select>
<select id="MultiSelect_Preview" multiple>
<option value="one">One</option>
<option value="two">Two</option>
<option value="three">Three</option>
</select>
You can provide multiple replacements by sending an int array to the select method.
$('#cars').val([1,3]);
//or $('#cars').selectpicker('val', [1,2,3]);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="cars" id="cars" multiple>
<option value="1">Volvo</option>
<option value="2">Saab</option>
<option value="3">Opel</option>
<option value="4">Audi</option>
</select>
you can use this code
<script>
$("#MultiSelect_DefaultValues").change(function () {
$('select[id="MultiSelect_Preview"]').find('option[value=' + $(this).val() + ']').attr("selected", true);
});
</script>
In select option change event,why can't we get this or event.target to get selected value instead of writing clumsy code like $( "select option:selected" ) to get selected value ?
Pure JavaScript
If you want a pure JavaScript approach, then use the event.target. To quote the official MDN documentation...
The target property of the Event interface is a reference to the object onto which the event was dispatched. (Source: MDN Web Docs: Event.target.)
Since that gives us the element selected, all we then need is the value attribute, and getting the text display would be nothing more than event.target[event.target.selectedIndex].text...
function getSelectedValue(event) {
console.log("Value: " + event.target.value + "; Display: " + event.target[event.target.selectedIndex].text + ".");
}
<select onchange="getSelectedValue(event)">
<option selected disabled>--Pick an Option--</option>
<option value="blue1">Blueberry</option>
<option value="rasp2">Raspberry</option>
<option value="straw3">Strawberry</option>
</select>
Using the above approach, it would be trivial to update it to add in other attributes of the selection option value, all in pure JavaScript.
jQuery
If you want a jQuery approach, then try using the :selected query term...
$("#selector").on('change', function(){
console.log("Value: " + $(this).val() + "; Display: " + $(this).find('option:selected').text() + ".");
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="selector">
<option selected disabled>--Pick an Option--</option>
<option value="blue1">Blueberry</option>
<option value="rasp2">Raspberry</option>
<option value="straw3">Strawberry</option>
</select>
$("select").on('change', function(){
console.log($(this).val());
console.log($(this).find('option:selected').attr('data-attribute'));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select>
<option data-attribute="a">1</option>
<option data-attribute="b">2</option>
<option data-attribute="c">3</option>
<option data-attribute="d">4</option>
</select>
You can't get the selected value, but of course you can get the element and the event.target.
<select onchange="mySelectOnchange(this, event)"></select>
function mySelectOnchange(elm, e) {
// **
}
It exists... take a look at this code for example
var selectElem = document.getElementById('select');
selectElem.addEventListener('change', onSelect_change);
function onSelect_change(domEvent){
// get the selected value :
var selectedValue = domEvent.target[domEvent.target.selectedIndex].value;
// you can also do it using domEvent.target.value but the other solution allows you to get every option's property you want
console.log("Selected: " + selectedValue);
}
<select id="select" name="select">
<option value="value1">Value 1</option>
<option value="value2" selected>Value 2</option>
<option value="value3">Value 3</option>
</select>
Hope it helps ;)
PS: have a look on http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_select_selectedindex.asp if you want more examples
The only property that's automatically transferred from the selected option to the <select> element itself is the value, because that's the main purpose of selecting an option from a drop-down menu. Other attributes like data-* are not automatically copied, because it's possible for the <select> to have its own attributes, e.g.
<select id="x" data-name="select">
<option value="1" data-name="option1">1</option>
<option value="2" data-name="option2">2</option>
</select>
It wouldn't make sense for $("#x").data("name") to return the name of the selected option instead of the name of the <select>.
<select onchange="getSelectedValue(this)"></select>
...
function getSelectedValue(select) {
console.log(select.value)
}
I am looking to add text to a textbox with the selected text from the dropdown menu and place a ',' after.().
<select>
<option value="1">This</option>
<option value="2">is</option>
<option value="3">test</option>
</select>
Now when you select the option 'is' the textbox gets updated with 'is,'. Now still on the same page you select 'This' the textbox gets updated with 'is, This,'. Reload the page and do it the other way around and you get 'This, is,'.
Hope you understand what I am trying to do here, the will contains values from the database so I cannot know what the values are exactly.
Thanks in advance.
I think something like this should work:
<select id="dropdownId">
<option value="1">This</option>
<option value="2">is</option>
<option value="3">test</option>
</select>
<input id="textboxId" type="text" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#dropdownId').on('change', function () {
$('#textboxId').val($('#textboxId').val() + $('#dropdownId option:selected').text() + ', ');
});
</script>
Fiddle
i have a form that has select element
<select name="adddisplaypage[]" id="adddisplaypage" multiple="multiple">
<option value="all" label="all">all</option>
<option value="index" label="index">index</option>
<option value="tour" label="tour">tour</option>
<option value="aboutus" label="about us">about us</option>
<option value="contactus" label="contact us">contact us</option>
<option value="destination" label="destination">destination</option>
<option value="reservation" label="reservation">reservation</option>
</select>
can anyone help me to select this option (multiple select) on click i.e the option gets selected when clicked, and deselected if selected on click.
I realized I may have misunderstood your question. Something like the following should work, though I'm not sure about browser support:
$('#adddisplaypage option').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var self = $(this);
if(self.attr('selected') == '') {
self.attr('selected', 'selected');
} else {
self.attr('selected', '');
}
});
In your click() handler, you could write something like:
$("#adddisplaypage").val("index");
That should select "index", for example.
You can pass an array to the .val() method. For instance:
$('#adddisplaypage').val(['index', 'tour']);
