Passing variable to a PHP page with Spaces - javascript

I have a select element as shown below.I am passing the value of the selected option to a PHP page as a variable with javascript as shown below :
<script>
var area1=document.getElementById("area").value;
$("#list").load("selectcity.php?city1="+city1+"&area1="+area1);
<script>
<select id="areas" name="areas">
<option value="Queens Town">Queens Town</option>
<option value="QueensTown">QueensTown</option>
</select>
Now the thing is , In the PHP page I am able to echo $_GET['area1']; when QueensTown is selected but whenever I am trying to pass Queens Town ,its now working.Can anybody help.

You have to escape the values properly, otherwise you would end up with a URL like this:
selectcity.php?city1=xyz&area1=Queens Town
Which is unlikely to work the way you want. Use this instead:
var data = {
city1: city1,
area1: $('#areas').val()
};
$('#list').load('selectcity.php?' + $.param(data));

Can the value obtained by dijit.byId('').value be compared to a String?

I am relatively new to Spring MVC and Dojo/Dijit widgets and I am stuck with a problem. I need to unblock a particular div based on the option selected from the dropdown i.e. when the user selects the reason as "Unexperienced" I am supposed to unblock a div with id = "unexpUser" style="display:none;" to collect some additional information.
JSP -
<select data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Select" name="userReason" id = "reason">
<option value="opt0">Experienced</option>
<option value="opt1">Not experienced</option>
</select>
JC -
<script>
if(dijit.byId('reason').value == "opt1"){
unexpUser.style.display = 'block';
}
</script>
When the page loads, the option displayed on the dropdown is "Experienced". When I change the option to "Not experienced" , I need to unblock the div but this particular code doesn't seem to be the right code for comparing. Please help.
.value is not the right way to get value from a dijit widget instead use:
dijit.byId('reason').get("value")
Use onchange listener :
dijit.byId('reason').on("change",function(evt){
alert(evt); //(evt == value of option )
// your code here
});
okay I got my mistake. This is the solution. #Harpreet Singh your solution works perfectly with this code.
JSP-
<form:select data-dojo-type="dijit.form.Select" path "" name="userReason" id = "reason" onchange="myFunction1();">
<option value="opt0">Experienced</option>
<option value="opt1">Not experienced</option>
</form:select>
and in my JS I created a function for the String comparison.
JS -
<script>
function myFunction1(){
if(dijit.byId('reason').get("value") == "opt1"){
unexpUser.style.display = 'block';
}
</script>
this works. Thank you so much for your help!

PHP Javascript cant access echoed element id outside php mode

Humble appologies if this is a stupid question but I cant for the life of me figure out what is wrong here.
I have an echoed element inside php mode:
echo'<select name="picks" id="winner">';
echo'<option value="'.$row['team1'].'">'.$team1.'</option>';
echo'<option value="'.$row['team2'].'">'.$team2.'</option>';
echo'</select>';
Now outside php
I try to do a basic javascript GET:
document.getElementById("winner");
However the elemnt is not accessible am I missing something here, is it not possible to get echoed elements Ids?
You should make sure your DOM has at least loaded before performing element selects. If you can use jQuery, then this is as easy as the following, and you can place this script in the head section, or anywhere in the body:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Perform any selects on the DOM
});
JS
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// The DOM is loaded and ready to be selected
var select = document.getElementById("winner");
var optionText = select.options[select.selectedIndex].text;
var optionValue = select.options[select.selectedIndex].value;
});
</script>
Of course you can also perform DOM selects using jQuery:
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// The DOM is loaded and ready to be selected
var optionText = $("#winner option:selected").text();
var optionValue = $("#winner option:selected").val();
});
</script>
Another possibility
If $row, $team1 or $team2 are not defined and you have PHP errors and notices turned on, then the HTML will render like so:
<select name="picks" id="winner"><b>E_NOTICE : </b> type 8 -- Undefined variable: row -- at line 4<br /><b>E_NOTICE : </b> type 8 -- Undefined variable: team1 -- at line 4<br />
<option value=""></option><b>E_NOTICE : </b> type 8 -- Undefined variable: row -- at line 5<br /><b>E_NOTICE : </b> type 8 -- Undefined variable: team2 -- at line 5<br />
<option value="" selected="selected"></option>
</select>
However, if you have PHP errors and warnings turned off, you would see something like this instead:
<select name="picks" id="winner">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="" selected></option>
</select>
If you are unable to access the value of options in your select HTML (because they are empty), this would be a good pace to start investigating.
Using JQUERY you can try following:
// I have used mouse down event for demo purpose.
$(document).delegate('#winner', 'mousedown', function ()
{
alert('hi');
});
Try accessing the value of the selected id
I am giving a demo fiddle
Demo fiddle
document.getElementById("winner").value;
Echoing JS codes is common but there are these possibilities:
1-You put document.getElementById("winner"); before php creating that element.
2-There is a syntax error in script tag which cause error and there for your select does not work.
since the php part will be available before page load you can simply do like this:
<?php
$row['team1']=1;$team1='India';$row['team2']=2; $team2='SA';
echo'<select name="picks" id="winner">';
echo'<option value="'.$row['team1'].'">'.$team1.'</option>';
echo'<option value="'.$row['team2'].'">'.$team2.'</option>';
echo'</select>';
?>
<script>
console.log(document.getElementById("winner"));//see this in console.
</script>

can't get values form html select to php

i can't get values from the HTML select menu to js and from there to sql... the problem is in the JS code - it's probably caused by bad syntax... or misplace values.....
here is the varibles from the JS file
var select = $('select.select').val();
here is the varibles from the PHP file
$select = filter_var($_POST['select.value'],FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
here is the SELECT menu from the HTML file
<select name ="select" class="select">
<option disabled selected id="none"> -- select an option -- </option>
<option value="roy">roy</option>
here is the FULL code , the PHP code is in the Console area - because i didn't manage to upload the code correctly...
code
Thanks Ahead !
$_POST uses name="select", so:
$select = filter_var($_POST['select'],FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

get the keyword from input box and pass it to the url?

I am trying to make a search form that get results from a feed based on the user's keyword and the feed source. But I have no idea how to pass the user's search term from the input box to the selected feed url in the data-source attribute. I was told that I can't just dump the js variable in the html markup. Is there no choice but to repeat the ajax function for each feed? Any help would be appreciated.
HTML markup
<select id="choosefeed">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option data-source="http://search.com?query='keyword variable'">Feed1</option>
<option data-source="http://find.com?query='keyword variable'&result=25">Feed2</option>
</select>
<input id="input_id" type="text"><button type="submit" id="keywordsubmit">Submit</button>
<div id="searcharea"></div>
JS script
$('#keywordsubmit').click(function(e){
var findsource = $('#choosefeed').find(':selected');
var source = findsource.data('source');
var keyword = $('#input_id').val();
var area = $("#searcharea");
area.empty();
$.ajax({
url: source,
success: function (data) {
................
You can simply use .replace()
var source = findsource.data('source').replace('keyword variable', $('#input_id').val());
However You can use data option of jQuery.ajax to pass value.

using a variable from drop down list

I'm attempting to create a dynamic drop down list, but after searching for hours I'm still completely stumped as to how to do it. So I am experimenting with variables in a list. This is the code I've started with.
<body>
<form method = "post">
<select id = "State" onchange = "a = this.options[selectedIndex].value;">
<option value = ""> Select a state</option>
<option value = "S3"> Pennsylvania</option>
<option value = "S4"> California</option>
<option value = "I4"> Texas</option>
<option value = "I5"> New York</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
my question is what can I do with the variable 'a' so that I could create a dynamic drop down list based off it? One thing I had hoped to do was use an if-statement to display a second list. I wanted to remain on the same page too.
Note: I apologize if this seems like a basic question, but I've been scouring websites for answers and all I've figured out was that I can't send javascript variables to php, otherwise I'd have gotten this done forever ago
try this way
<select id="appamt" name="appamt">
<? while($amt=mysql_fetch_array($amount)){ ?>
<option value="<?=$amt['amount']?>"><?=$amt['amount']?></option>
<? } ?></select>
When your page detects the onchange event, what you need to do is either have all the combinations of options you want readily available but hidden on the page e.g. $('#sub-option1).hide(); and when the value is selected use $('#sub-option1).show();
Secondly you can have a ajax request that returns a JSON value of key=>value pairs, then use these key value pairs to dynamically build another dropdown using jquery .each() function.
Loop through your json values and add them to a previously hidden selector and then display it.
Hope this helps but if not email me and I will skype you through it.
