Thanks for Help
Peace!
Try the following JSFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/3XTjH/
using the HTML :
<select id="example" onchange="showtext()">
<option value="http://www.cnet.com" data_info="Click here for Cnet, the primer technology site on the net!">Cnet</option>
<option value="http://www.cnn.com" data_info="Click here for CNN, one of the best sources online to get your news.">CNN</option>
<option value="http://www.geocities.com" data_info="Click here for Geocities, and receive 10 megs of free web space.">Geocities</option>
</select>
<br>
<textarea rows=5 cols=21 wrap="virtual" id="text"></textarea>
and the Javascript :
function showtext() {
var dropdown = document.getElementById("example");
var curOption = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex];
var info = curOption.getAttribute('data_info');
var txt = document.getElementById('text');
txt.value = info;
}
Every time you select a new option it find the currently selected option, and then find the value of the data_info attribute of that option and set the value of the text area to it.

Using a jQuery Plugin (Link to Plugin Code) I try to achieve a multi-select drop-down menu. Then I want to dynamically (depending on user input) change the menu-entries. The first part works fine, but changing menu-entries doesn't so far. Therefor I wanted to ask for help.
Here is the HTML part:
<select id="Fruits" name="Fruits" multiple="" style="display: none;">
<option value="1">Number1</option>
<option value="2">Number2</option>
<option value="3">Number3</option>
</select>
Then I use that code to initialise the menu:
$(function(){
$('#Fruits').multiSelect({'noneText':'Select Fruits'});
});
The result is precisely what I want:
Next I try to dynamically add a menu-entry. I do that by the following code:
var option = document.createElement("option");
option.text = "Number4";
option.value = "4";
var select = document.getElementById("Fruits");
select.appendChild(option);
This is what I hope to achieve:
However the result looks precisely like the first picture. Also running
$(function(){
$('#Fruits').multiSelect({'noneText':'Select Fruits'});
});
again doesn't help.
Get the MultiSelect instance (.data("plugin_multiSelect")) from the <select> and call .updateMenuItems() after you've added the new elements:
$("select").data("plugin_multiSelect")
.updateMenuItems();

The answer is based on the source code and a test on their demo page.
I'm trying to develop a helpdesk & initially trying to input pre defined selected question with their solution. I'm stuck where i need to display different solution to different question depending on the question selected from the drop down list.

You can use the onChange event to listen to value changes and react accordingly.
function showAnswer(id) {
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = answers[id];
}
var answers = {

What do we want to achieve?
Depending on a select option (type of question) we want to show a different solution/answer. The questions are meant to be stored in HTML and not being outsourced (according to the initial post).
Solution
The solution would be to store each solution in a different outsourced HTML file. So one can edit and maintain the solutions in known HTML structure and also maintain each solution seperately. Furthermore we do not keep all the solutions in our DOM anymore, which saves traffic and bits.
Requirements
For each solution we create one HTML file to it.
index.html

//u:=url, f:=callback, c:=any param to pass to callback

I would like to have a tag search button in Tumblr by selection using the select option but I am not sure how to insert the onclick event using Tumblr's {text:Search Label}.
form action = "">
<select name = "Cities">
<option value="----">--Select--</option>
<option value="roma">Roma</option>
<option value="torino">Torino</option>
<option value="milan">Milan</option>
</select>
Anyone here can help? Thanks.
Well here is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/htWW6/
This is the script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('select').bind('change',function(){
var loc = $(this).val();
location = "/tagged/" + loc;
});
});
This is jquery, so if your theme currently has this installed (many do) then that code should work off the shelf. If not then it is very easy to add jquery, but if you need a pure JS solution, I cannot help with that. Although the other answer does offer some insight.
First of all, thanks for reading the topic.
Now, I'm making a website using HTML5 and I need to load a text file according to the user choice in a combobox. I mean, the user selects an option from the combobox and the text from it should shown on a specific cell of a table. The number of times that the user wants without refreshing the site.
The problem is that the code is not working. The code:
The HTML for the combo box:
<select id = "comboSelect">
<option value="text1.txt">text1</option>
<option value="text2.txt">text2</option>
<option value="text3.txt">text3</option>
<option value="text4.txt">text4</option>
<option value="text5.txt">text5</option>
</select>
The HTML for the table cell:
<td colspan="5" class="text" id = "cuadroTexto"></td>
The JavaScript that does the rest of the work:
$(document).ready(function(){
document.getElementById("comboSelect").addEventListener('change',function () {
$(document.getElementById("cuadroTexto")).load(value);
alert("Cargado");
},false);
});
Edit 1:
I think that the JavaScript is not recognizing the change event from the combobox.
I'm yet not working with a server.
Check this is working
CODE
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#comboSelect").change(function () {
$("#cuadroTexto").load(this.value);
alert($(this).val())
});
});

I am creating a way-finding app using HTML5, jQuery and Javascript. There are 3 total html pages and each page has a different legend. In this app I have buttons that call a jQuery click function to display stars on the map above the location you have selected. Each button has an id and the buttons work how I want them to work. The problem is that I want to add a drop down list that will provide the same functionality as the buttons on the legend. So basically what I want to be able to do is select a section from the drop down list and then jump to the page that has that section and have the stars already displayed for the selected section. IE: If I select Restrooms, I want to be able to jump the ground floor and have stars displayed over the restrooms. Is this possible to do? I tried using a Javascript function to make the URL navigate to the value of the select list option I wanted but that didn't make the stars show up. I am fairly new to Javascript and jQuery so please help. Thanks! Here is my code:
HTML:
<form method="get" name="form1" action="">
<select name="locations" onchange="gotoSection(this.form)">
<option selected>Please pick a Section</option>
<option disabled>---Ground Floor---</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#mc" >Mayor's Commision on Literacy</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#ch">Children's</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#sr">Story Book Room</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#eo">Extensions Office</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#ma">Montgomery Auditorium</option>
<option value="grdFloor.html#restRm">Restrooms</option>
</select>
</form>
<div id="restRm" class="legend">
<a href="#restRm" ><img src="floorMaps/restBTN.png"/></a>
</div>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.legend, .arrows').show('slow');
$('.stars').hide();
$('#restRm').click(function(){
$('.stars:not(#restStar1, #restStar2)').fadeOut('slow');
$('#restStar1, #restStar2').toggle('pulsate');
}); //end restroom
Javascript:
function gotoSection(form) {
var newIndex = form.locations.selectedIndex;
if ( newIndex == 0 ) {
alert( "Please select a Section!" );
} else {
cururl = form.locations.options[ newIndex ].value;
window.location.assign( 'http://libwww3.freelibrary.org/maps/central/' + cururl );
}
}
Try this:
<select name="locations" onchange="gotoSection(this.value)">
function gotoSection(cururl) {
window.location.assign( 'http://libwww3.freelibrary.org/maps/central/' + cururl );
}
EDIT:
Maybe i should read the entire question before i answer, i thought the problem was that your navigation didn't work, i apologize.
But as to the question about the stars, if i understand your question and example code correctly, you're navigating within the same page, just with diferent #hash tags. And if thats the case, your document.ready won't run.
Instead you can make a function that triggers the stars and call that from your gotoSection method, after you've assigned the new url.
